SANTA ANA – A downtown celebration honoring Mexico's bicentennial is sparking a firestorm of protests and angry e-mails after city officials decided to kick off the festivities on the day that marks nine years since the Sept. 11 attacks.

A group of anti-illegal immigration activists picketed last weekend in front of the Mexican consulate and plans another protest Wednesday morning. The group also expects to hold a protest at next week's City Council meeting.

Let the fireworks begin.

FTA: In Mexico and at other consulates throughout the world, she said, the cry for independence celebration officially kicks off late night Sept. 15 and into Sept. 16.

That's what I thought. Mexican Independance Day is Sept. 16 -- same as my birthday. So, why start on the 11th? That's like celebrating the 4th of July on the 1st (although my town actually does that with their "fun before the 4th" celebrations designed to avoid conflict with all the other little towns and villages around here.)

How about they return to Mexico to honor whatever holiday this is.
