I wonder in Mexico if you buy a calendar there does it say US Independence Day on July 4th? Cinco de Mayo is not a national holiday in Mexico.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States than in Mexico. Mexico should be celebrating the defeat of the U.S. southern border.

The battle also played a role in the American Civil War. With Napoleon III defeated and leaving North America, the Confederacy wasn't able to use the French as an ally to win the war.

A lot of people don't realize what Cinco de Mayo really is about. Here's the TRUE story. In May of 1912, there was a huge Elote festival planned in Mexico, and the whole country was anticipating the celebration. There were crates of Mayonnaise loaded on the Titanic that was supposed to arrive in Mexico on May 5th. News of the Titanic sinking reached mainland Mexico on May 5th, and the nationwide celebration had to be canceled. Ever since, Sinko de Mayo had been set aside as a day of remembrance of that tragic event. Gringos have changed the "s" to a "c" because they just don't know any better.

That's because it's a holiday in the USA and not celebrated in Mexico. It's really a Mexican heritage holiday.

It’s very little Mexicans crossing border. It’s Salvadorians, Haitians, Africans, Guatemalans, etc.
