New laws added taxes and stopped the arrival of new immigrants of slaves.

Explanation: In 1830 Mexico passed the Law of April 6, which increased customs enforcement and duties, banned further U.S. immigration into Texas, and curtailed the importation of slaves. These measures angered mostly American settlers who wanted more settlers (and to keep slavery) and resented Mexican taxes and regulations.
