WEll I respect that so much more than allegiance to a country from two or three generations ago.... I’ve never stepped foot in my grandfather’s homeland - I’m an American

When my ancestors came to Mexico from Spain, it was Spanish territory. By the time they came to what is now Texas, they were intermarried with native Americans and interested in staying away from Spanish govt-they fought for Teas independence, too, but they became Americans when Texas joined the US, been American ever since...
