The Reason Why Chicago Canceled Their Cinco de Mayo Parade Is Hilarious

Chicago announced they’re not doing Cinco de Mayo this year. The parade has been canceled for the most obvious reason: ICE likely would’ve had a detention buffet. I’m not kidding. The city decided to close shop on the celebration to avoid their illegals being arrested and deported. It shows that state officials who declare they won’t help ICE is just empty talk—these are federal operations. Federal immigration officers can still arrest and detain illegals, and they’re doing it.

Cinco de Mayo in Chicago will be canceled this year due to fears of strict immigration enforcement, a local organizer of the event said.

The Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce, who announced on Thursday that they are canceling the event, reportedly said the Mexican community in Chicago is concerned about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

America needs to cancel ChiCongo. That would be the most beneficial thing we could do, viz. eliminate entirely all RAT controlled cities.

Perhaps a parade of Mrs. O’Learys cows down Michigan Ave instead.

In 1912, the presidente of Mexico traveled to England as part of a friendship tour...While there, he had taste of a condiment that he truly loved....He loved it so much, he thought his people needed to try it...He then, as a starter, ordered 10,000 cases of this condiment to be shipped to the US and then hauled to Mexico...

The ship the condiment was transported on happened to be the Titanic and as we all know, it hit an iceberg and sank...

The presidente felt so bad his people would not get the condiment that he declared a holiday in its memory...

The sinking of all mayonaise is how Sinko De Mayo began....

You saw the wave of ICE agents descending on a pro-illegal immigrant march a few days ago. It was beautiful.

Dang. And I was really looking forward to the huge, fat Prickster balloon in the parade.

The governor of Illinois just went to Mexico to sign some kind of trade deal. Most likely what the citizens of Illinois will get out of this will be more poverty, higher taxes, and move democrat votes in the safe and secure elections that happen here.

Democrats politicians put themselves before their constituents. Some Republicans too. Sad for Chicago. My father grew up there but he passed 20 years ago.

Chicago blacks are angry at all the illegals taking their benefits from them.

I'll believe it when the Chicago blacks quit voting Dim. Unless the vote fraud is big in the land of Al Capone.

Al these years on FR and I have never understood the humor of Sinko Of May.

It is like the natives of Massachusetts in 1999, singing the three word ad jingle cinco de mayo.

The natives had no clue that they were just singing 5th Of May.
