One of Philadelphia’s most prominent Latin American events, El Carnaval de Puebla, has been canceled this year because of what one organizer called “the severe conditions affecting the immigrant community.” The annual parade through South Philadelphia has taken place in late April or early May for the last decade and is the city’s largest Cinco de Mayo celebration. Organizer Edgar Ramirez said as many as 15,000 gather from as far as New England and Chicago.

That’s pretty funny. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated mostly by cerveza loving Americans.

Sort of like Kwanzaa is mostly celebrated by white school teachers.

THis clearly demonstrates the Philadelphia event was primarily for illegals.
Just like St. Patrick’s day, I have no problem with a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Just legal immigrants and American citizens.

I can’t wait until we see the headline: “Illegals no longer sneaking into the U.S. for fear of being deported”.
To: Kid Shelleen
It's not about immigration. It about illegal immigration.
We need to keep saying this every time the left tries to frame the conversation around immigration.

Amazing...we are led to believe by the libs that there really aren’t that many illegals here, but entire events get cancelled. Why would Hispanics living here legally not want to show up?
To: Mercat
Sort of like public schools in New York City with no Jewish students closing for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, too. LOL.

It’s gratifying to watch the concept of “illegal” seep into their overly entitled brains. Yes, “illegal” means arrest, detention, and sanction. New concept to them.

Interesting. Isn’t it racist to presume that all Latinos who might celebrate Cinco De Mayo might be in the United States illegally?

Cinco de Mayo isn’t even celebrated in Mexico.
This is a good thing, though.
Less flag waving of their country’s flag by the illegal aliens is always a good thing.
