I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.
Provides example of a problem caused by illegal immigrants.
"lol how could you dumbasses be against illegal immigration"

What I was specifically referring to here is the role that "Anglo" migration into Texas played in the tensions that sparked the rebellion. Example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_RevolutionMexican authorities became increasingly concerned about the stability of the region.[6] The colonies teetered at the brink of revolt in 1829, after Mexico abolished slavery.[17] In response, President Anastasio Bustamante implemented the Laws of April 6, 1830, which, among other things, prohibited further immigration to Texas from the United States, increased taxes, and reiterated the ban on slavery.[18] Settlers simply circumvented or ignored the laws. By 1834, an estimated 30,000 Anglos lived in Coahuila y Tejas,[19] compared to only 7,800 Mexican-born residents.

Well it's easy to feel good about yourself when you use third world countries as a point of comparison. The US's performance in Reading, Science and Maths isn't much to write home about.

Average on Reading and Science, lagging on Maths.
I don't know what you're trying to say here. Obviously the article was referring to US immigrants into Mexican Texas when it said "Anglos".
And why would my country be relevant? My point was just that comparing a first world country like the US to a third world one like Mexico is pretty silly.
For the record, it's Australia, it's higher than the US on all three indicators, and personally I think our education system sucks.
American "Anglos" originally came from Europe. Just as Australian "Anglos" did.
Many Tejanos fought for Texas independence. Juan Saguin comes to mind. It is where we get the name of the "Saguin River" here. Jose Navarro, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and has county named after him. He also served on the Senate. Lorenzo de Zavala also signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and has a town name after him.
