A forgotten fact about WWI is the interception of the Zimmerman Telegraph. Germany wanted to divert the US away from the war overseas. So their Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmerman instructed the German ambassador Heinrich von Eckardt via a telegram to convince Mexico to attack the United States.It was VERY tempting for the Mexican president, Venustiano Carranza. Obviously, Mexico was still pissed off from losing Texas after decimating their army of 186 men at the Battle of the Alamo. But wisely they decided to stay neutral.
The last thing the citizens of Mexico wanted to do was empowering Texas Border Patrol Officers with the right to legally kill Mexicans.
Governor of Texas
Fellow Texans, we have officially declared war against Mexico

You got to be shittin’ me boy. We can kill them without getting’ in trouble. Halleluiah! There is a God.
In recent news, the Minutemen of Texas have convinced themselves that during Saddam’s reign, the Prime Minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi e-mailed the Mexican government to attack Texas.They refer to it as the “Allawi E-mail Interception.”
