In your opinion, do you think it was a good or bad idea for the Mexican to encourage American settlers to come to Tejas? Why or why not? ​

Mexico had what seemed like a good plan... to get settlers and colonists into Texas, to make sure it was a settled territory that the United States would have to back off from. The Mexican population doesn't really have a surplus that could provide that kind of settlement. So, it seemed like a good idea.
