You know what is interesting about the list of heroes who died at the Alamo. Some came from foreign countries and according to some on FR would be considered "invaders" today.

Afterall, back then all one had to do was walk off the boat.

Ellis Island didn't being operation until 1892 and the Alamo happened in 1836.
