They may have been full of shit but when they rebelled they WERE Mexicans.

The textbook (pun intended) definition of a fifth column.

The Spanish had been doing something similar in Louisiana though before the French ended up with it and they sold it to us. There was always a problem getting Mexicans to leave Mexico...something which would fucking amaze the conservatards today! When Mexico gained independence from Spain they simply kept doing what the Spanish had been doing and for the same reason. They needed to increase the population. Poor strategic planning on their part.

And whose fault might it be that on the watch of a god who knows all and can do all, "institution of slavery" became "so deeply rooted in ancient culture that it could not be dismantled overnight"?

Much like wondering what Yahweh was doing between Adam and Eve, and the time of Noah where everything went so bad that the only thing he could think of doing was wiping the slate clean. Fallen angels raping a bunch of women, who gave birth to evil people, and Yahweh just watching.
