"After a few decades," Juanito? Por favor. The Sabine River was not made the boundary until Spain signed the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819. Mexico was not a country for several years later in the 1820s. A few, for my English-challenged Mexicano, is about three. If you were to be correct in your statement, it would mean Americans "illegally" crossed the Sabine for three more decades, otherwise known as 30 years or at least 21 years. Picking 21 years to give your traitorous cause a little hope would mean that Americans crossed "illegally" into New Spain/Mexico until 1840 before Mexico did anything to stop the incursion and the illegal Americans reverted to their American ways. Alas, my dear Juanito, by 1840 Texas was independent. So basically, that's a fuck you, mojado. "
Even before the signing in 1819 of the Adams-Onis Treaty recognizing the Sabine river as the boundary between the United States and Spain/Mexico, a large number of U.S. settlers aided and abetted by U.S. expansionist politicians were flowing into what is now Texas and beyond.
In fact, one of the main reasons the treaty was signed in the first place was because of incursions into that territory by settlers from east of the river.
The land was far from the control of the central government and the small trickle soon turned into a full-fledged migration.
In 1810, Moses Austin, a banker from Missouri, was granted a large tract of land in Texas, but died before he could bring his plan of recruiting American settlers for the land to fruition. His son, Stephen F. Austin, succeeded and brought over 300 families into Texas, which started the steady trend of American migration into the Texas frontier.
This included not only the original 300 families of Texas lore, but many more "uninvited" settlers who followed along after free land.
By 1829, as a result of the large influx of American immigrants, the Americans outnumbered Mexicans in the Texas territory. The Mexican government decided to bring back the property tax, increase tariffs on U.S. shipped goods, and prohibit slavery. The settlers rejected the demands, which led to Mexico closing Texas to additional (legal and illegal) immigration.
However, Americans continued to flow into the Texas territory.
Let's see if the math is right. The settlement (legal and illegal) started in 1810. The treaty was signed in 1819. Texas declared itself a republic in 1836. Texas was annexed in 1845.
From 1810 to 1836 it's 26 years (or a couple of decades). From 1810 to 1845 it's 35 years (more than a couple of decades).
I don't normally like to engage in debate with an anonymous critic, being at a disadvantage because I put my name on what I write. Additionally, I don't normally repeat ethnic slurs against a particular race (such as mojado, and other vulgar epithets you used).
It doesn't feel good to be called a wetback, does it anony?
So who's the illegal alien, pilgrim?

Atta Boy, Juanito, this M---er F---er needs to to be placed in the bull pen! Eaten up and gulped. Thanks for the information.
F----k--g white sob, you sound like the bastards from kurv. They think they know it all.
They have always fix history to their likings, or what fits their agenda.
Good informantion, juanito.
Don't let this bastards have it their way, Juanito, they don't like to hear the truth, it sounds like the kkk from harlingen or the kurv crowd, nothing but pricks, inbreads, sara palins relatives, featherbrains, go back to England where you came from loosers.
History is history and it can't be change, whether you are local or born here or not. Too many Tejanos lost there land because of the color of their skins.
The Europeans are the (wet backs)they crossed the ocean 6,000 miles, this was mexican land. Then they took the indian land away, put them on camps,and kill them, everytime they had a chance. They just don't like the truth.
(History can't be change)
Maybe it was just that they were illiterate. I'm pretty sure illiteracy had something to do with it.
