At a time when national passions are heated about illegal aliens from Mexico, the city of Chicago and state of Illinois are promoting an event to honor Mexican independence.
The celebration, called the "2nd Annual Mexican Independence Skyline Tribute," will feature prominent buildings throughout the Windy City being bathed in Mexico's national colors of red, white and green for six days beginning next Tuesday, Sept. 12.
It's receiving heavy promotion from organizers including Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, D-Ill., the Mexican Consulate and Univision radio host Javier Salas.
"The tribute recognizes the important role that Mexican-Americans have played in Chicago over the last century, from the early days of the railroad and stockyard industries through the steel mill boom to the present," a website promoting the tribute states. "Today, an estimated 550,000 Mexican-Americans live in the Chicago area."
At least 20 businesses and landmarks are slated to participate. Buildings including Sears Tower and the Wrigley Building will be illuminated with red and green lights, while other buildings and locations will spell out messages such as "VIVA VIVA."
The event began last year to mark the Sept. 16 Mexican national holiday.
oops, sp (jeapordized)! After hearing about Daleys big Mexican Adventure in Chicago, can't even spell tonite!
Good read here: “Although Hispanics are the nation’s largest minority group—14.5 percent of the population according to Census Bureau figures released last week—there is no national museum dedicated to their history.”

You're absolutely right. That was very though less of me. I do apologize! LOL Yep, that's the skunk. He's real buddy-buddy with La Raza. He's been to their office encouraging them to keep protesting because he wants to make it look bad for President Bush. He wants all of their votes.
Part of one day to remember 9-11, and honor America's dead, followed by a quick-change to 6 days of honoring Mexico's independent and illegal contribution to America's welfare fraud, underground worker population, crime levels, and blaming us for their problems.
If I only had to guess based ont the above, without benefit of decades of certainty, I would have to (correctly) conclude that Chicago is a slimey bastion of 'Rats
The rats in City Hall in Chicago are more deadly than the ones with tails that are in the alleys of Chicago!
Yeah, i just tried calling him. convo went like this.
Unidintified male (UM) "mayors office?
(Me) Yeah, mayor daly there?

(ME) Well i figure he might be awake scr--ing up more things in the city
(UM) no, he gets here about 9 in the moring, you may wanna try him then
(ME) ok thanks
i'll try again tomorrow
You gotta be kidding me!!!!! Independant, my butt, they're freaking leeches living off of all of us!!! Ya'll think they'll take over, I don't think so, I think we will have a civil war before that time comes. The load on the camel's back is getting mighty heavy.
I wonder if they (barf) celebrate (puke) The Fourth of July in Mexico (gag)? How far will PC go?
I'm sure the public schools (NEA nazis) nation wide have planned (much in advance) a whole glorious week of events and revisionist history / brainwashing that revolve around Mexican / US history. Nothing like having little Johnny coming home and rebuke ma and pa for their wrong thinking.

Those who feed at the trough of socialist schooling have no room to complain. If they don’t like it they can get off public assistance and put their kids in a free market school.
I’m constantly amazed at people who are riding a socialist program, complaining about the service, the location, or whatever. If they aren’t satisfied with the tax subsidized program they can always provide for their own wants and needs in the free market.
People who complain about the socialist schools, are like the people who complain about the projects, or the ones who complain about the lines and service at public health clinics. If they don’t like the subsidized program they can get out of it, and provide for their own needs.
Chicago can also flaunt all the unbelievable graffitti there too!!!
An unbelievable, this makes me sick, BUMP
Good freakin' grief.
"Funny thing, Bush is for the fight in Iraq for the peoples freedoms & laws to govern them, while in his own country laws are being broken & not enforced! Our freedom is being jeaopardized! Does this seem ironic to anyone?"
Not ironic...moronic....:o(
Sounds like a relative of Daleys that's on the payroll!
Problem is, it IS happening right now in this country, the politicians are all for the illegals, WHAT are WE doing? What can we do, complaining here is not the answer.
Is it time for US to band together before it's too late & demand something be done???
When they start giving illegals our S.S. can we all stop paying taxes??? Cause there won't be any S.S. left for any of us who have paid taxes for years!
