I heard a commercial for one of our excellent and beloved clients.
What caught my ear was an offer for “a free copy of the Texas Declaration of Independence”. I know our governor is currently locking horns with the federal administration but…has it gotten to the point that Texas has drafted a new Declaration of Independence?
Investigation further, I’m PRETTY sure they’re talking about the Texas Declaration of Independence of 1836, when Texas declared its independence from Mexico. But, as read more and more about that document, I discovered a fact that you may not have learned in state history class.
The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed by predominantly illegal aliens.
Let’s go back in time to March 2, 1836. The Texas Revolution was fully underway. In fact, the Battle of the Alamo was still being fought in San Antonio. The Alamo wouldn’t be captured until 4 days later on March 6.
While that was happening in San Antonio 160 miles away in Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas a meeting was convened to adopt a formal declaration of independence from Mexico. In all, 60 men signed the document. Most of the 60 were illegally in the country of Mexico (Texas).
Here’s how this worked. All but three of the signatories had moved to Texas from the United States. Only ten of them had lived in Texas for more than six years. Fully one quarter of the rest had only come to the Mexican province of Texas within the previous year.
Here’s why that’s significant. Mexico had passed a law in 1830 that explicitly banned any further immigration to Texas from the U.S.
This means that, by Mexican Law, almost ALL of the men who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence were ILLEGAL ALIENS!
What does this mean to us? It all depends on your perspective. The message COULD be, “Be kinder to (illegal) immigrants because that’s who founded Texas”. OR…the message could be, “Don’t let illegal immigrants in or they’ll steal part of your country!” It’s all in how you look at it.

racist republicans were in control at that time and they think they still are, pero NO. IDIOTAS.
In 1813, the first Declaration of Independence of Texas was written by Lt. Gen. Jose Bernardo Maximiliano Gutierrez de Lara who was elected first president of the Republic of Texas while still under Mexican law. His parents were from Revilla Texas and Gutierez de Lara answered to the griot of Farther Miguel Hidalgo. It would be enlightening for everyone to google Mr. Gutierrez, an illegal alien in his own land, and find out how much he contributed to the formation of early Texas, with his family being storng supporter of Jose Escandon on his entrada into Texas. Oh, and I did not learn that from my history teachers; in fact, I never had a good history teacher until I had Mrs. Gladys Odekerken at BHS, but, she too, never mentioned the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition. It was always the Magee Expedition. Check it out.
Gringos made it a point not to teach Mexican nor Hispanic history. As a matter of fact no school in south texas did that. The only school in the valley that did protest was Edcouch Elsa all hispanic students walked out of the class rooms. Everybody was afraid the school districts in the valley did a good job of scaring the tex-mex students, they told us we were white and some believed that, and some still do to this day.
How could Republicans be in control at this time since Democrat Martin Van Buren was president? Inquiring minds want to know.

You blame Republicans but the Republican Party didn't even exist yet. Be informed. Don't be brainwashed. Don't make up lies. Don't repeat lies. Repeating lies Don't make them true. Democrats seem to do this a lot. Don't ignore facts. Don't be ignorant. Typical brainwashing of minorities by the Democratic Party.
