Please note:
This celebrates independence from Spain.
Not "Cinco de Mayo" which celebrates expelling French would be conquerors.

A fairly recent development in Chicago, and always chaotic (not just for Trump).
A marking of territory like urinating dogs.

[chopperk]

Chicago imported the Mexicans, now enjoy there presence.

[Delta 21]

Which one? They have several.

[calico_thompson]

ICE baby ICE. Chill

[Tell It Right]

Evidently the Spanish conquistadors still exist and are still looking to steal riches from people who’ve been here for centuries. They just have a darker hue than the prior conquistadors.

I think ICE should set up a Margarita/ Corona stand!

[Tell It Right]

I think ICE should set up a Margarita/ Corona stand!

Good idea. Also good would be undercover ICE agents posing as 12-year-old girls with padded butts selling homemade goat cheese.

Those exploding piñata can be dangerous, and of course Corona and Tequila Herradura consumed too much....

Or maybe legal immigrants of Mexican background are leaving the Democrats to vote for -- ¡Dios mío, no! -- Republicans.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The illegals claim they want U.S. citizenship and yet they wave the flags of their home countries south of the border and celebrate Mexican Independence. Something stinks. They will all be applying for “dual citizenship” once they are added to U.S. Goverment welfare rolls.

[Vaduz]

To bad the French didn’t win everything would have been much better for everybody.

[goodnesswins]

Can I go to Spain and raise a ruckus celebrating “Independence?”

[ridesthemiles]

EXACTLY

[SaxxonWoods]

Should we go to Mexico to celebrate our 4 de julio?

[Tom Tetroxide]

[Forward the Light Brigade]

What better way to celebrate Mexican independence day but to be in Mexico? Time to go home and rid your lands of the Cartels and bring freedom at long last. Ask yourself, what would Benito Juarez Do? Isn’t Mexico worth fighting for?

[The Louiswu]

Target of opportunity

[silent majority rising]

Target rich environment?

[Vaquero]

Mexico would be the place to celebrate. I don’t celebrate July 4thin Mexico

[Bon of Babble]

Trump could have a two-fer here - flood the zone to flush out the criminals and criminal illegals.

Make Chicago Safe Again.

[HIDEK6]

Independence?

They sure seem dependent to me.
