Michelle Malkin makes it clear that immigrants from Mexico wish to get their foot in the door through politics ("Reconquista," PostOpinion, March 29). Defying the rules of our nation means nothing to them as long as political correctness is their trump card. What Gen. Santa Ana failed to do in 1836 at the Alamo, which cost many American lives, this horde wishes to do without firing a shot. Bloomfield

Technically they wern't American citizens at the Alamo. People living in Texas didn't become American citizens until the mid 1840's, but what the hey michelle malkin needs such historical revisionism to pump up her hyperbole.

I beg to differ! A lot of the defenders of the Alamo were american citizens to came to fight for freedom. Congressman Davy Crockett comes to mind.

Really? David Crockett was an American citizen who served in the Congress of the United States fom 1827 to 1833, your historical revisionism notwithstanding

Technical they were American Citizens at the Alamo since neither we or the Mexicans recognized the Republic of Texas.

BZZZT... wrong. Although they were living in Texas, the individuals at the Alamo were American citizens. http://www.thealamo.org/defend.html (Davie Crockett and Jim Bowie two of the more popular). I suggest doing some research before spouting off.

Wrong again!

Of the 182 who were killed or murdered at the Alamo, the overwhelming number of them were, in fact, American citizens.

Davey Crockett, who was murdered by the Mexican, Santa Ana, was an American citizen, as were all his volunteers.

William Travis, was a lawyer and light-colonel from South Carolina.

As an aside, what's your problem with Michelle Malkin?
