Anglo settlers were colonist in Mexico and Mexican settlers weren't
Mexican settlers in California were called Californios in the 1800s
They were there as invited settlers.
The US settlers were seeking undeveloped land in the southwest, and the Mexican governments originally encouraged settlers as a means to increase the area's population. Mexico eventually realized that the new settlers did not want to be subject to Mexican authority. the Spanish and Mexican governments invited U.S. settlers to move there to increase the province's population.
Relations between the Mexican government and American settlers in Texas begin to deteriorate because settlers refused to convert to Catholicism or free their slaves.
