As the 175th anniversary of the Texas Revolution approaches, let's travel back in time via the "Blast from the Past Newscast" with a special report on Immigration in Texas Then and Now . Hear from 4 people from different walks of life: Texian volunteer, Mexian Soldado, female Anglo colonist, and Tejano volunteer on why they came to Texas. Then compare and contrast their reasons for coming to Texas with the reasons people immigrate to Texas today.
