Why did Mexican immigrants settle in Texas?

Answer 1

At first, early American settlers came to Texas because of either for personal gain or the sense of adventure, even though Texas was spanish territory at the time. But later, when cars and other gas guzzling vehicles came into practice, the reason was for oil farming and steel.

Answer 2

Mexican immigrants didn't settle in Texas...before the war Texas was a PART of Mexico...it's more like the immigrants didn't leave.
