"That freaks out a lot of Americans- they don't realize that a lot of Hispanics were living in the US before there was a US. A lot of Texans, for example, don't know that about a third of the Texan army during their war of independence was of Mexican origin. Could it be that liberty is attractive to all people?"

Yes. One wonders which version America the heirs of the Anti-Immigrants emigrated to.

My Grandmother (born in 1862!) lived long enough to tell me tales she knew of "Old California."

There were also Mexicans very much in favor of the "Bear Flag" Revolt here in CA, too. General Vallejo, for example.

Are they for it?
