Will Santa Anna or Pancho Villa be there?

Nothing you can't fix with a front end loader and some log chain, I'm sure.

There are very few problems that can't be solved with the judicious use of high explosives.

Well, there is a statue of Poncho Villa in Arizona
(possibly erected in gratitude for his raiding of New Mexico), so why not a few in Dallas?

Famous Mexicans?? The only one I can think of is Pancho Villa, and he was a bandit.

Pancho Villa is in a Tucson park across the street from the county court house.

"Statues of Lincoln can be found in other countries. In Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, is a 13-foot high bronze statue, a gift from the United States, dedicated in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The U.S. received a statue of Benito Juárez in exchange, which is in Washington, D.C. Juárez and Lincoln exchanged friendly letters, and Mexico remembers Lincoln's opposition to the Mexican-American War. There is also a statue in Tijuana, Mexico, showing Lincoln standing and destroying the chains of slavery."Article in Wikipedia

Plus, there is another statue of Lincoln in 'el parque Lincoln' in Mexico city and one of Martin Luther King
