Thomas D'Arcy Etienne Grace Hughes McGee, was an Irish-Canadian politician, Catholic spokesman, journalist, poet, and a Father of Canadian Confederation. The young McGee was a Catholic Irishman who opposed British rule of Ireland, and worked for a peasant revolution to overthrow British rule and secure Irish independence. He escaped arrest and fled to the United States in 1848, where he reversed his political beliefs. He became disgusted with American republicanism and democracy, and became intensely conservative in his politics and in his religious support for the Pope. He moved to Canada in 1857 and worked hard to convince the Irish Catholics to cooperate with the Protestant British in forming a Confederation that would make for a strong Canada in close alliance with Britain. His passion for Confederation garnered him the title: 'Canada's first nationalist'. He fought the Fenians in Canada, who were Irish Catholics that opposed the British and resembled his younger self politically. McGee succeeded in helping create the Canadian Confederation in 1867, but was assassinated by Patrick J. Whelan in 1868.

Mesquite is a common name for several plants in the genus Prosopis, which contains over 40 species of small leguminous trees. They are native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The mesquite originates in the Tamaulipan mezquital ecoregion, in the deserts and xeric shrublands biome, located in the southern United States and northeastern Mexico. It has extremely long roots to seek water from very far under ground. The region covers an area of 141,500 km2, encompassing a portion of the Gulf Coastal Plain in southern Texas, northern Tamaulipas, northeastern Coahuila, and part of Nuevo León.

Mesquite Hills is a newly developing neighborhood in Northeast El Paso, Texas. Newman Ranch Partners, LLC, began construction of the community in 2007, as demand for housing in the area increased. This increase in housing demand can be attributed to the relocation of tens of thousands of U.S. Soldiers from Germany to nearby Fort Bliss. At full build out, Mesquite Hills will have approximately 1,774 single family homes. There are also plans for four neighborhood parks to be located within Mesquite Hills. Plans call for commercial plots along U.S. 54 to the north and Dyer street to the south. Newman Ranch Partners initially were in negotiations with the Ysleta Independent School District to include an elementary school in Mesquite Hills, however a bond proposal was voted down by voters, and the elementary school will not be built.
