Mexico had been promoting Immigration to that region to the point where there was a huge influx of American citizens interested in the cheap land (as if they didn't have enough). This worried the Mexican government, who decided to restrict immigration and take away some of the land granted to the american settlers. This pissed them off royally, and they rebelled.
