Why was the Mexican government concerned about the white settler population in Texas?It feared the white settlers would use up all the natural resources, leaving none for Mexican settlers. It knew that white settlers outnumbered Mexican settlers, which could cause it to lose control of Texas. It realized that white settlers were unable to afford the $100 cost of 4,500 acres of land, so few would move to Texas. It realized that there were so few white settlers in Texas that it would lack enough settlers to maintain the land.
