Juan Seguin and the dozen or so Hispanic Texicans who died at the Alamo fighting the tyrant Santa Ana for their freedom might disagree with this lady. Aw, come on, they were a bunch of tio tacos--the Latino equivalent of Uncle Toms.

Who is Perez? I do not know. Poorly written article.

I am a descendant of a man who fell at the Battle of the Alamo (Gordon C. Jennings, the oldest to die at the Alamo, and whose broter, Charles, died at Goliad).
I take great pride that he fell defending his land from people like her ...
... and I’d bet he took a whole heap of them with him.

This lady should take a lesson from another attraction in
San Antonio. The Nimitz Museum is dedicated to an admiral
of German descent who was first and foremost an American who
was one of the main players in defeating the Axis powers in
WWII. This included Germany.

La Raza classes and reading Howard Zinn as well.
I have been going through Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States”. All pure Marxist “class struggle” drivel.

Keep in mind that JL de SA is NOT a hero in Mexico, and has always been blamed for losing a third of the country. Trust me, NOBODY idolizes someone who held up Mexico City to hold a funeral procession for his leg.

Of course the Alamo resulted in the loss of all hands.
Should Travis have followed Houston's order and fled the Alamo while he could? Fortunately General Cos let his Mexican Macho side prevented him from mounting a siege and taking the main force and pursue the fleeing Houston.
We may have won at San Jacinto, but in the end we have lost.
QED the mother, and 12M illegals.

I still want to know who "Perez" is. The story makes it sound like Castro is saying this, but the quote is from somebody named "Perez", who isn't otherwise identified.
I guess they all look alike to the Noo Yawk Timez.

Amazingly the Mayor's mother missed out on the part where SETTLERS were invited into Texas Are there any lessons we can learn about what happens to your country when you invite so many foreigners into sections of your country that they outnumber your citizens?
Everything I needed to know about the cultural results of unlimited immigration I learned from the American Indians.

I don’t particularly mind what his Mom says. I have a whacky mom, too.

“And Cortes and Pizarro were what, exactly?” I agree, and the Spanish were particularly vicious slave-owners. But I think think the self-righteous LaRaza’s and Mecha’s identify with the indiginous natives.
To: laotzu
This is just another example of the failed American public schools.
Of course this poor ignorant woman does not remember the Tejanos that died at the Alamo and others like Juan Sequin that fought the Mexicans. Of course, all she and the others have to do is look at a list of Texas counties and cities to see just how these Tejanos were and are honored. But then again, maybe she ain't ignorant but is just stupid and that is terminal.

I guess we could learn from the Texas experiment ~ even if you get them to convert to your religion letting the funny little foreign guys become the majority is a risky venture Fur Shur.

And further, a few years later, General Winfield Scott and his Aide de Camp Captain Robert E Lee successfully captured Mexico City after a campaign that defeated Mexico’s finest from Yucatan inland to the Halls O Montezuma.
President James K Polk a great Tennessean, determined Mexico was not worth having and abandoned his win after deposing Santa Anna for the second time.

“When I grew up, I learned that the ‘heroes’ of the Alamo were a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”
That is a really horrible thing to say about the Tejanos that defended the Alamo. About 10% of the garrison were local Spanish-speakers from San Antontio. Juan Seguin was one of the officers in the garrison. They were defending Texas from invaders from the south.
Sounds like this lady is a racist that hates Hispanics. Probably hates herself and is projecting that hatred on her ancestors.

Hey, I thought Santana fought AGAINST Independencia.
