In 1828, General Manuel Mier y Terán submitted a report to the Mexican government highlighting the growing influence of the United States in Texas and the potential threat it posed to Mexican sovereignty. He noted the significant Anglo-American settlement in the region and called for increased military presence and the promotion of Mexican Immigration to counterbalance foreign influence. Mier y Terán emphasized the need for economic and political reforms to strengthen ties between Texas and the central government in Mexico City. His report ultimately led to the implementation of policies aimed at controlling Texas and curbing American encroachment.
