all the mexicans are laying dead. and robert triplett was all the way almost to the louisiana border. he was across the natchez river when he got the news from a passerby on the road that said hey, we've got this big victory, they captured santa ana. so he hightails it back to san jacinto. he's an agent for texas. he crosses the ferry. he's walking around san jacinto. and he runs into david g. burnett. and president burnett says triplett, i need to talk to you about that land. he goes i'm really getting a lot of political heat for it, is there some way we can undo? he said what do you mean undo it? he said it's going to be really unpopular with the soldiers, can we just suspend it? and these are triplett's words. granted they're standing in the middle of san jacinto after a battle. and he says, "i was now prepared to proceed to new orleans and the president came to me to say that great excitement had been created in consequence of him issuing the grant for a section of land on galveston island and he wished to see if

-mexican relationship. because 6 million u.s. jobs depend on trade with mexico, because the united states is year in year out the largest source of foreign direct investment in mexico, because our countries share a land border of nearly 2,000 miles, and because more than $1 billion a day in goods crosses that border, and because our people share the same resources, breathe the same air, drink the same water, and share a common culture, and because our nations work together both will be more competitive, create more jobs for our workers, and be more economically and physically secure in today's global environment. in his nearly six years in office he has demonstrated the strength of his convictions, confronted head on the country's security challenges, and worked with the united states as a critical ally while urging the united states to do more to address some of the underlying causes of his nation's challenges, particularly the drug trade. he has demanded and received the serious attention of world leaders. in june he will host

settlers and the mexican government. we conclude our coverage of this symposium with greggdimmick on how archaeological evidence is being used across texas where the revolution ended. this is 35 minutes. a pediatrician in warton, texas. he is a 1974 graduate of texas a & m and 1977 graduate of the university of nebraska medical school. he has practiced pediatrics for 29 years. dr. dimick is an archaeologist and co-authored two reports on excavations of the retreating mexican army. he participated in archaeological digs at several sites. he wrote sea of mud, the retreat of the mexican army after san jocinto. and second edition came out in paperback in 2006. he recently edited a book that was written by a mexican general, in 183. a forgotten 1838 publication by an eyewitness to the texas revolution. in january of 2011, dr. dimmick was inducted, in the sons of the republic of texas. several members i have seen here. dr. dimmick appeared on history channel, discovery channel, involving his work of the mexican army and spoken

and there was over 600 mexicans killed. but of those nine men that were killed on the texas side, one of them had served in calder's company, and his name was benjamin rice brigham. and ben brigham was the son of asa brigham, who's the treasury official in galveston, who signed that receipt. and it's reasonable to assume that when they got to galveston the commanding officer would have had the conversation with the father, by the way, sir, your son was killed in the battle, there are many more wounded. you know they would have had to have that conversation. i mean, a lot of these guys knew each other. so what this receipt represents is a father using his official post in the government to secure 21 shovels and 13 spades for the use of the republic of texas to bury the dead at san jacinto, which included his son. so they take the shovels and spades, they put them on the steamboat yellowstone, they go all the way back up galveston bay to san

the mexican rulers have not honesty and the people have not intelligence. and of course, sam houston is a paradigm of honesty. you will no doubt do ample justice to the motives which prompts this communication to you. and i should censure myself if i were to conceal from you the knowledge of any facts which would enable you during your administration -- during your administration to acquire texas. so houston wants to acquire texas on jackson's watch. during his administration. if it is in accordance with the policy of the united states, if you want it, i want to make it happen for you. it is probable that i may make texas my abiding place. in adopting this course, i will never forget -- and that's houston's emphasis, that's not mine -- i will never forget the country of my birth and he never did. so let's recap. there's old hickory himself. okay, houston arrived in texas intent on fomenting the evidence. john wharton, a prominent member of the war party, invited houston to texas and wrote openly of an anticipated rebellion as early as june 1832, according t

i didn't hate mexicans. i didn't hate indians. i didn't hate anybody like that. but when you go to these prisons and by the time you do ten years like me, if you're even halfway sane, it's a miracle. >> vanjlis garafolo was awaiting trial for the attempted murder of five police officers while on parole for an earlier conviction of voluntary manslaughter. >> the date i met vanjlis garafolo it was like meeting hannibal lecter with shackles. i saw his feet first and i kind of looked up i saw all the tattoos. this guy was huge, 6'3", probably about 235. i mean he was built like an nfl linebacker. he looked like a stone cold killer. what's even more fascinating is what came out of his mouth. >> the california department of corrections is solely responsible for the madness that goes on in this prison system. and i'll tell you why, because when a big white boy like me goes to prison, he is expected to do his part for the white cause and it's the same for the blacks, the mexicans, the indians, the orientals, asians, everybody else. they're expected to go to prison and do

it's a result that showed up first in the mexican census.of these are entire families moving back. they're not moving back in with amorelloive thes, they're not going back into existing households, they're setting up their own households. so they're families with children. about 300,000 of them are tually children who were born in the united states to mican immigrants. so those people are citizens of both countries. >> woodruff: so they have every right to stay here yet they're going back. >> well, they're children. they're children. >> warner: oh, i see, grown children? >> no, no, a couple hundred thousand are under five. so it's families going back now. >> warner: how much of the return is driven by deportation-- involuntary return. >> well, some, it's a number that's very hard to tease out of the available data. we put a rather wide range on it. maybe as little as 5% b as much as a third of the migration back might be involuntary. the enforcement from the federal government has increased over the last five or six years and larger numbers

hundreds of thousands of mexicans have been affected by these laws. mexicans, and others are affected. they are from latin america. representation is so key. that doesn't invalidate any of your stories. on the contrary, it makes us unified. whether it was logistics, or whether no mexican was available or whatever, but they are not here. so i really -- but again, i do appreciate your work. i think it is time for you go the next step. i appreciate the panel issue. thank you very much. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> good evening honorable chair person and members of the board. my name is carl cruz, i am with the american immigration lawyers and the national lawyers guild. i want to shed some light and go further than due process deprivation and explain what it is we are looking at in terms of the proposals we saw in 2007 and 2008. evans involved in some minor lobbying efforts. we need to take all this in keeping with what the office could be. on the one hand, we might get comprehensive immigration reform. on the other hand, we might get
