My niece married a LEGAL Mexican immigrant a few years ago. She said they were going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I don't know what all was invloved but I didn't get the idea it had been Americanized. But maybe that's because Emilio has been Americanized.


DD,

No problem and you spoke just fine for me. Although I do think that if we were to put them in prison, let it be in their home country. My tax dollars (yes I pay taxes) shouldn't be used to house an illegal in one of our prisons.

As far as Cino de Mayo is concerned, its not celebrated throughout the country. But, the US has "Americanized" it like it does with every other culture. Its turned into another day of drinking, eating and making a fool of yourself when drunk. Kinda like with St. Patricks Day.

If you wish to read up on it here's a few sites for ya:
