By design. Look at the origin of Texas.

You mean how colonizers from the US seceded from Mexico so they could keep slavery, joined the US after a hot minute, then seceded from the US so they could keep slavery? Or some other origin?

It's better than that. Those Texans moved down there specifically to infiltrate because, and steal the land. Unironically the exact same thing they claim "Mexicans" (all Spanish speaking brown people) are doing today. My mom's from Texas and everytime she brought up that conspiracy theory I'd just point out they're using the Texas playbook and say "and what could be more American than that?"
