When I told this to the folks at ABC News, who did a big segment about Cinco de Mayo this morning, they said “Why not ?” Well, because Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, and Mexico is a country that has been invading and colonizing the US, for 70 years, that’s why not.

Currently, Mexican imperialism is pillaging $24.3 Billion/year out of the US economy in remittances$$$, and re-inserting that money into THEIR economy. This is like your next-door neighbor burglarizing your house, every day for 70 years. The only US presidents to ever really take action it was Eisenhower in 1954 (Operation Wetback), and Trump, this year.

And the remittances are only part of it. Tens of Billions more is being drained for US tax treasuries, by the Mexicans by the anchor baby racket, and false documentation. And Mexico acts like parasiting the US is their God-given right. A few years ago, then Mexican president Felipe Calderon came to Washington DC and scolded the US Congress for not stopping Arizona from taking action against the invasion/plunder. Some years before that, another ex-Mexican president Vicente Fox, gloated and bragged about US remittances being Mexico’s #1 source of income.

Now, the current Mexican president, says Mexico won’t pay for the border wall. Well, of course they will, but their arrogance and disrespect for America is overwhelming. Not only should these international pirates pay for the wall, they should pay for much more than that. They should pay for all the Americans who have been killed by the illegal aliens thy sent here. The should pay for the cost of incarcerating Mexican criminals, deportation proceedings, schooling of Mexican kids, hospital costs, remittance and welfare re-imbursement, job losses, diseases brought here by Mexican illegal aliens, etc, etc.

In 1848, after the US-Mexican War, when the US got half of Mexico’s territory, then US president James K Polk, was outraged. He said we should have gotten ALL of Mexico, and taken full control over the country. No truer words were ever spoken by a US president.
 
It isn't even widely celebrated throughout Mexico. It's pretty much a regional holiday. I would bet more Americans celebrate it than people in Mexico.
 
Only border cities and resorts where Americans go recognize Cinco de Mayo. Mexicans don't celebrate it. I had a pathetic Mexican art teacher that was arguing with me that Cinco de Mayo was an American holiday and had nothing to do with Mexico at all.

Cinco de Mayo is a drinking day, like St. Patrick's day. Who knows how it even got started. It commemorates a small fight in a war that Mexico lost. That's not much of a reason to celebrate.
 
Most Americans either don't even know what it's for, or believe it's Mexico's Independence day.

Regardless, I think most here see it mainly as an opportunity to get drunk, or to fill their faces with Mexican food (which is actually southwest U.S. food).

Incorrect. The Franco-Mexican War was won by Mexico.
 
REAL Americans only celebrate Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day.

The hate and racism of the OP of this thread is self evident.

France went on to win the war.

7 Things You May Not Know About Cinco de Mayo - History in the Headlines

It is true that Mexico eventually did drive the French from Mexico this wasn't it.
 
Why do we celebrate Cinco de Mayo and not Bastille Day? The French at least were allies. Mexico has never been a friend to the United States.

LOL- yep its pretty much a made up holiday in the United States to celebrate drinking.

The unjustified war against Mexico in which so much of their territory was looted is an embarrassment in American history. General/President Grant was among the leaders of his age to acknowledge such.

You call opposition to 70 years of Mexican Imperialism "hate and racism" ? That only shows YOUR detachment from REALITY.

The last 70 years of Mexican imperialism colonizing the USA, and robbing us of hundreds of Billions$$ is more than enough to justify the Mexican War, and a whole new one right now. Polk was right.

But why do you think we are American's............... We celebrate all the Nationalities that people from all walks of life enjoy. It's not making one group more special than the other.

The liberal Universities are teaching this bs, Of Verbal attacks on languages and how it's insulting to celebrate other ethnic groups culture.

Things like this are part of American's celebrating how everyone is welcomed here.
 
Strip this away and the others will follow

St Pats. Day --------------Irish
Christians like Christmas
Jews like their thing

Fk man this is what America is about celebrate your culture here while NOT STRIPPING others of their celebration.

Even if the Muslims want to do their thing, gawd dam let them, but don't take our calendar days away from us.

You're right. It actually started being celebrated in America by Mexican American college students. So I've heard.
 
I am for Americans adding new holidays to the calendar. We need more celebrations in our lives, not less.
