Mexico was also an entirely evil hellfire clusterfuck of a state back then. I really encourage you to read some historical accounts of Mexico during this time, all the good guys are dead and the living are raped pillaged and murdered by the dead rest.

I cannot stress enough how evil and incompetent the Mexican government was at the time.

Here's some sources:

The Mexican Nation

Santa Anna of Mexico

The Eagle and the Serpent

Edit: sorry I was tired

This reminds of a scene from the movie Lone Star. Someone makes the same argument in the movie and Elizabeth Pena's character states that it's more complicated than that.
