Uh... (head shaking) what's the point of the last sentence in this article?!?
"Of the more than 600 Mexicans who were killed at San Jacinto, many were trying to flee or surrender."

Really, why is that there. It has nothing to do with illegal immigration or the minutemen. Plus how does this guy Edward KNOW they were trying to "flee or surrender"?

Santa Ana was captured. As story goes, in a women's dress, trying to escape detection. The Texas forces attacked at sunset. Many Mexicans were still in siesta and the low sun was in their eyes. It was a battle. We won.

You're right. It's a totally skewed line.
