Why not talk about all the illegal immigrants who took over Mexican Texas?

During the 1820 decade and before, hundreds and hundreds of illegal American immigrants were flooding Texas, and by 1829, they already outnumbered Mexicans. The Mexican government responded by cutting off immigration, but Anglo-Americans kept pouring in and so Mexico also levied a property tax and tariffs on goods imported from America, and outlawed slavery. Texan Anglo-Americans did not like this and so they declared their independence.

Could it be said that Americans are just drinking their own medicine?
