Imagine lying down to go to bed in a border town in Texas and hearing explosions in the sky. But it isn’t the Fourth of July. It’s Texas Independence Day and the explosions aren’t fireworks but incoming rocket fire from Mexico on the anniversary of their defeat in the Texas Revolution. They’re still upset about the Texans ‘taking’ Mexico from them.
Imagine Texas already gave them El Paso — a proverbial olive branch. But El Paso wasn’t enough. They want San Antonio too, and the Alamo. You see, both Texans and Mexicans consider the Alamo site sacred — for the Mexicans, the Alamo reminds them of their slaughter of some 200 Texans at the Battle of the Alamo; for the Texans, the site marks the pivotal battle of the Texas War for Independence, which inspired the Texans to ultimate victory at San Jacinto.
But the sound of exploding rockets in the sky over Texas cities isn’t even an unusual experience. Far from it. In fact, there’s an air defense system built by the Texans on the Texas-Mexico border called the ‘iron dome’ for the express purpose of intercepting and neutralizing incoming Mexican missiles. The sounds of air raid sirens are as common as illegal border crossings.
Imagine that prior to the barrage of Mexican missiles, riots had broken out around the Alamo. Texans were marching to the Alamo to celebrate their independence from Mexico. But dozens of angry, young Mexicans had also gathered at the site, shouting, “We will redeem our Alamo.” The violent Mexicans threw rocks and bottles at Texas police, who were there to keep the peace.
