Actually, the Texans were the invadersBecause there was no texas, no california, no Arizona, no new Mexico in the USA, it WAS Mexican territory, and we were trying very hard to colonize people in to the USA, we welcomed immigrants to live here, we were all immigrants or children of immigrants, gave immigrants land owner ship parcels for simply promising to till the soil and stay here...yes, but it is the definition in number 1, that the founders were talking about in the constitution...Invasion:
1 an act or instance of invading or entering as an enemy, especially by an army.
2 the entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease.
3 entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists.
4 infringement by intrusion.
the definition of invasion
not like an invasion of privacy...
How do you know that? You have some kinda trans-time ESP or something?
please stop trying to rewrite history and the meaning of words for your own demented reasons....
families coming here to live was never considered an invasion, an invasion is an ARMED invasion.
FYI
the 700 mile federal border wall legislated in 2006 to be built was our first federal border wall.... Did you know that?
Americans fought and died for that land, too. Remember The Alamo!
Know why they revolted? Because Mexico wouldn’t let them have slaves
It's more subtle than that - and steeped in irony. The Texans were invited there, with incentives of free land, by the Mexican government. After winning its independence, the Mexican government needed people to tame its northern frontier. So the program made sense.
In 1830, conservatives gained control of Mexico and decided that they'd had enough of foreign immigrants flooding into their country, so they closed the border. While they couldn't afford a wall, they tried to stop the flow of eager immigrants looking for opportunity. They closed down the programs offering land and began persecuting immigrants already living in Texas.
They failed.
