It’s true that to get a business liciense you pay through the nose, plus the bribes you have to pay the local cops every month makes it tough to make a profit on a small buisness.

As to Cinco de Mayo…..It’s a legal Mexican holiday, but almost no one notices it in Mexico. But here in the states the food and booze industry has hijacked it and turned it into what we have today(nothing new about that). The first big groups to celebrate it were the Chicano groups, 99% of whom have never been to Mexico in their lives. It can be gulling to see a cinco parade in a town that dosen’t have a 4th of July parade.

About 2 years ago when the government wanted to expand the Mexico City airport in this area. They paid very little for their property so the people held riots, the gov. backed down. Now that the present president will leave office end of the year, pay back time.

Things started with the removal of a flower producer from an apartment apparently he wasn’t paying rent. The owner got a judge to send an order to kick him out. They came with about 50 police. Overkill according to many. From there there was a standoff, they got out their machetes, and 500 more police came. From there it went worse with the macheteros (machete bearing people, using a populist front name). They attacked police with rocks, sticks, bottle rockets (large that explode), and motloff cocktails. The people grabbed some 11 policemen, held them hostage. Group of 6 attacked an unconscious officer and one man kicked him in the groin while he was unconscious and deadlike as we watched live from a TV crew in helicopter! Why? No reason for any of it. Minority groups raising ruckus before July elections to get some political gain in the polls. Several dead. many injuried.

Maybe John they didn’t want to scare the American news audience anymore than what they are. Seems the big *no gringo day* was a disaster. The polls are starting to sneak out and they are running 60% and higher for strong borders first….talk later about citizenship.

I knew the far left crowd would blow it for the immigriants when they took over the lead of the march’s. Even a couple of the MSM types are doing stories on the radicals who *hijacked* the movement. A lot of honest, mainstram groups backed away from the May 1st march’s…..they said it could backfire, and they were right. One of those was the Mayor of L.A., also the Chavez union.

With all the time in a day for news channels to ‘SAY SOMETHING’, they really dont do much. repeat repeat repeat.

“MEXICO CITY—As dozens of major American corporations continue to move their manufacturing operations to Mexico, waves of job-seeking Mexican immigrants to the United States have begun making the deadly journey back across the border in search of better-paying Mexican-based American jobs.

“I came to this country seeking the job I sought when I first left this country,” said Anuncio Reyes, 22, an undocumented worker who recrossed the U.S. border into Mexico last month, ”
