@djsonicc Apparently the elected representatives of Texas don’t think it’s an important issue other than as a campaign issue, because they killed the bill that could have addressed the issue and kicked the can to next year at the earliest.

About the same time there was revolutionary activity in TJ, but it got put down pretty quickly. But this whole “Plan de San Diego” thing is sketchy at best. Not one of its signers were notable leaders of the factions in the Mexican Revolution. None of them the men, arms, or money to even begin to carry it out. It might have been written by bandit revolutionaries, but they were without a base. Most importantly in the context of the Mexican Revolution, the plan was never promulgated anywhere, on either side of the border. A plan in this context isn’t secret. It’s a statement issued openly to rally support. It’s similar to our Declaration of Independence. A plan in this sense wouldn’t be secret. I think this was a poorly researched, written, and presented video.

There was a shit ton that was glossed over in this lazy and poorly researched video.

@chrisschultz8598 Correct spelling, but Columbus wasn’t razed. Not even close. We should endeavor towards both correct spelling and correct definitions, don’t you think?

You never heard of it because it’s a trivial detail that represented nothing of importance at the time. It got blown up afterwards to provide an excuse for racial violence, and when that violence was swept under the carpet so was the “Plan de San Diego”. This was a lazy video.

@badmaw7073 It wasn’t a big threat. And when there was a serious incident (Pancho Villa’s raid on Columbus over an arms deal gone bad), he sent in Pershing.

@karlsokalski4234 The truth is that they didn’t put very much work or research into this video. I think it’s quite likely the writers don’t know how to pronounce the words, either. Their understanding of the Mexican Revolution is Wikipedia level.

It’s a strong possibility. I also think it could have been a single conman who was promptly turned over to the authorities. Here’s the thing. During the Mexican Revolution, the different sides published their own plans. In this context, a plan is like the Declaration of Independence. A plan is supposed to be a declaration of intent and principles. This was a poorly researched video.

What foreign army invaded a U.S state? Do you mean the raid on Columbus?

@Wright1331 The signers of the Declaration of Independence were well known people. And they published the declaration. It wasn’t a secret. This “Plan de San Diego” was written and signed by 9 nobodies and was never promulgated on either side of the border. Every other plan issued by a revolutionary faction during the Mexican Revolution was publicly declared to rally support. They’re statements of intention. Why is this one plan such a secret? Only one guy had a copy of it, and he was turned over to the authorities.

@JustGonnaStepHere There is no evidence that there were more than nine men involved. And even that evidence is shaky. It could have been just the guy that was caught. The Declaration of Independence was a public declaration of intent. It’s the same with the various plans issued by the different sides in the Mexican Revolution. The Declaration of Independence would have to be a secret document to compare it. What we know for sure is that a dork or maybe a group of nine dorks approached a friend of Pancho Villa looking for support. Probably it was a con job, and the Villa supporter turned the guy in. And later it was used as justification for lynch mobs and white terrorism.
