What would you find at Garibaldi Plaza in Mexico city?
Plaza Garibaldi (19°26'27.60''N 99°08'20.40''W) is located in the historic center of Mexico City, and the Plaza is best known as home of mariachi music in the city. At all hours during the day and night, mariachi bands can be found there playing or soliciting gigs from visitors.
What was the purpose of the 1830 decree issued by Mexico?
Stop all Immigration from the United States
Well it did, and failed: The general of such army, Spanish nobleman Agustin the Iturbide, betrayed Spain in exchange for the throne of Mexico once it became independent. He then rose as Agustin I of the Mexican Empire (1822-1823), until Mexico became a Republic and he was ousted and exiled. He later tried to return, but was captured and executed by firing squad on July 19, 1824.
However, in the very unlikely event that Mexico didn't gain its independence (it did because Spain was already a falling empire), the worst case scenario would have been the eventual clash between American and Spanish forces, destroying the thirteen original colonies and turning them into a Spanish viceroyalty.
What is more worst Juarez or Mexico City?
Ciudad Juarez is one of the ugliest cities in Mexico and one of the worst lo live in:
Mexico City has nice, upper class zones where locals and tourists alike are not afraid to be mugged or raped (i.e. the Santa Fe, Condesa or Colonia del Valle boroughs). Also, Mexico City has a subtropical climate and although the urban area is much bigger than that of Juarez, it has nice plazas and parks as well as many amenities such as movie theaters, malls and open spaces.
On the other hand, Juarez has a semi-desertic climate with little to no trees and is an overwhelmingly industrial town with many more irregular, poorer, crime-ridden settlements than those found in Mexico City.
For some visual clues of what I am talking about, see the following links:

What is the driving distance between Brownsville Texas and Tampico Mexico?
Brownsville/Matamoros to Tampico (323 miles): Take Highway 101 to El Como Highway 180 toward Tampico. Half-way to Tampico is Soto La Marina. Roads are not in great shape, and the road is very poor from Soto La Marina to Tampico (about the half-way point between Matamoros and Tampico), so try not to drive after dark. You'll find a hotel with a courtyard just past the gas station on your right in Soto La Marina, and you may want to stop there for the evening - - it's a long way to the next hotel. Also, if you're a commercial vehicle, and don't get out of Brownsville until around 5 p.m., you may want to spend your first night in Matamoros (lots of lodging facilities there).

Mexico encouraged americans to settle in texas because?
When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories.
