More to the point, WILL we? At the very least we could learn some lessons from history...
From The Beginning of the End:
Despite the 1830 decree to halt immigration, between 1830 and 1835 as many as 10,000 U. S. citizens entered Texas illegally, and more than a few were spoiling for a fight. Even [Stephen F.]Austin, the go-along to get-along empresario, had a change of heart and mind in Mexico. After his release from prison in July, 1835, Austin penned a letter in New Orleans to a cousin:
"A great immigration from Kentucky, Tennessee, etc., each man with his rifle… would be of great use to us—very great indeed… I wish a great immigration this fall and winter from Kentucky, Tennessee, everywhere; passports or no passports, anyhow. For fourteen years I have had a hard time of it, but nothing shall daunt my courage or abate my exertitions to complete the main object of my labors to Americanize Texas. This fall and winter will fix our fate—a great immigration will settle the question." Although Austin was five years behind the invasion plan, he was, at last, on board and the Texas Revolution had begun.
So, Texas belongs to the US now. The US bought, bartered, swapped and traded for it; fought and won it when it became necessary. Obviously, groups like MEChA and their ilk's job is to sew seeds of discontent wherever possible. Probably aided and abetted by the likes of a George Soros. Chavez maybe???
Chavez thinks himself the new Che...
