HISPANICS “INVADING” TEXAS?!?

It was the other way around!         Consider the following:

  • El Paso, Texas, was founded by Spanish Fray Garcia de San Francisco in 1680 when it became a preliminary base for governing the territory of New Mexico; Spaniards traveled traveled back and forth from what is now Santa Fe to El Paso for many years.
  • San Antonio, Texas, rose from a Spanish mission founded in 1718 by Fray Antonio de Olivares and from a Spanish military fort names the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar, founded the same year. The mission later became known as “The Alamo.”
  • The Vice President of the Republic of Texas, before Texas joined the Union, was a Mexican by the name of Lorenzo de Zavala who fought for the independence of Texas from Mexico in 1836. He stands in for the many Mexicans who also fought for Texas independence, many of whom died at the Alamo alongside the better known American heroes, like Davey Crocket.

So, what can we say about President Trump’s insistence that “Hispanics are invading Texas?” 

He’s an ignoramus (I’ve said it before).

Worse, still, the El Paso shooter seems to have picked up on Trump’s dogged claims of “invasion” and took it upon himself to kill “invading” “Hispanics” or Mexicans.

It looks like to me that Trump is guilty of inciting terrorism in El Paso and the deaths of thirty one people. That’s the man we have in the White House.
