The people of Alta California were given the option or relocating south beyond the new Mexican border or accepting U.S. citizenship. About 90% took the citizenship option.
I had also heard that by the time Texas decided to secede from Mexico (and from the state of Coahuila y Tejas), the ratio of illegal immigrants from the United States to Mexicans was about 6 to 1!
