My great grandfather was a mexican chewing gum specialist for Santa Anna *(During his(Santa Anna) time in New York City he is credited as bringing the first shipments of chicle, the base of chewing gum, to the United States, but he failed to profit from this, since his plan was to use the chicle to replace rubber in carriage tires, which was tried without success. The American assigned to aid Santa Anna while he was in the United States, Thomas Adams, conducted experiments with the chicle and called it "Chiclets,") and he often told my dad about the attack at the Alamo and that Anna just wanted to open up a little bed and breakfast in that area and actually had no idea that the place was already leased. True story...well....kinda true. Sorta.
*Googled for correct historical significance.

I think anyone who complains about white guys dieing at the alamo is stupid. Take someone's land, they shoot you. Come on, it's Texas law! lol
Who owned the land that you live on now? Thats right Native American Indians and I am part Native American , so gimmee your house or I kill you....... Now what say you............BTW my gringo family settled Texas under Spanish and Mexican land grants , I have copies of the land grants to us when they were begging for settlers..........

Technically they had no system of ownership... How's that for a loophole?
I love Texas and being a Texan. Wouldn't have it any other way.
