Question

Why did the Mexican government enact anti-immigration laws against the Texas settlers?

The area quickly became overpopulated and there weren’t enough resources to support the settlers.

The settlers broke the terms of the original immigration policy.

The Mexican ruling class wanted to invite the Comanche tribe to the area instead.

Torrential rainfall after a long drought made the area too dangerous for settlers.

Answer 1

The Mexican government restricted immigration as part of a whole host of protectionist laws aimed at benefiting Mexicans. The belief was that by banning Texas settlers, Mexicans in Texas would be more economically prosperous and more Mexicans from elsewhere in the country would relocate to Texas
