Several cities throughout Mexico have been forced to cancel their traditional Independence Day celebration due to widespread cartel violence.

Historically, every September 15 at night, the president, each governor, and each mayor hold a celebration at their Plaza Square where they remember the start of Mexico’s Independence.

During that celebration, they ring a bell while shouting a call to arms, death to a bad government, and the traditional “Viva Mexico.” The party is meant to commemorate the same call to arms known as “Grito de Dolores” given by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla on September 15, 1810, when he called on the people to fight off European colonialism.

There are so many cars in my area that have these big Mexico flags on them. It just aggravates me. I see it all the time lately.

Y'know, in the Spanish language. That'll stick it to the man.
Sounds like Mexico needs more Mexicans to make sure this doesn't happen again.

An example of the worst kind of immigrants are those most prideful of their hell-hole backward violent culture of a 1000 years of dirt floors and machetes, that they fled, to escape to a sane and advanced culture like America, or Sweden, or England, and they are the most drenched in racial and nationalistic pride of the country the fled and want to impose it on the advanced societies they are taking over.

True barbarians, tear down the skyscrapers, loot the space programs, burn down the universities, and replace it all with race pride, machetes, and the ashes of all that served as a reminder of how their people never accomplished anything in all of history.

No immigrants are more proud of their native countries than Hispanics and Africans, and Haitians, etc.

No that's bad for business.

The Mexican government is in charge of Mexican City. It's actually a nice place. Better than many of our American cities.

The Cartels will make Mexico turn Communist. That how Mexico handles things. Wait till things get intolerable, then have a violent Revolution and kill lots of folks. Cartels will kill each other as they fight for ultimate power. Think USA will NOT get involved?
