The Left Shrieks: Fear of Deportation is Causing Illegal Alien Mexicans to Cancel Their Cinco De Mayo Celebrations!

This is the greatest tragedy in human history!

🚨 Illegal Mexicans are CANCELLING their Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the U.S. due to the fear of being deported, per CNN

They SHOULD be scared. They’re here ILLEGALLY.

Take the $1,000 and self deport. pic.twitter.com/mtnrBae3N5

The Trump Administration is now warning illegals that if they self-deport, they can apply for visas and green cards from their home countries.

If they force the government to deport them, they'll be barred from entering America for at least 20 years, and possibly for life.

Tom Homan: "If you leave on your own, you can take advantage of the legal programs to come back. But, if we have to go through the process of formally deporting you, there are mandatory bars against you for up to 20 years—sometimes forever."pic.twitter.com/K9mn6p41T0

18 The parade in Chicago was cancelled because last year's 'celebration' got really shooty real fast.

And it wasn't a bunch of white guys in MAGA hats, no matter what Jussie said.

But cancelled because the illegals in the hood are afraid it's a good round up and deport opportunity? I'm good with that, too!

71 Good! A stupid made up holiday like Kwanza! For tacos!

I was reading of a toddler who got hit by a car. Driver drove briefly away, claiming he did not feel the bump in the road. The bump that crushed the toddler's pelvis and bruised internal organs.

The police got his phone number somehow and he had a special driving permit that expired 10yrs ago. Some sort of permit that allows illegals to drive and terrorize us all without care, reading signs or basic car insurance. It is mostly them who drive the wrong way on Interstates, from my own studies.

The news article did not exactly say he was illegal, and in this country driving illegally for a decade on his worthless paper that expired. But I, ChristyBlinky, can read between the lines with his name and figure out he is freaking illegal.

I hope he gets deported with his entire family, friends, and anyone else who wants to go with him willingly or unwillingly.

Sinko de Mayo is sink or swim, but leave while you bloody well can.

Oh, and words to those who are possibly reading this and illegal...if you don't start learning and speaking English I know you are illegal. It is a tell as much as your MS-13 or Latin Kings tattoos. Adios!

Even better: The English and Spanish representatives agreed to a payment plan, but the French decided they could take the country with their well-armed, trained troop. Instead, they were beaten by a bunch of farmers with machetes and single-shot guns, led by a "general" in his 20s who had recently graduated from West Point.

Starring: John Wayne and Rock Hudson

After the war, Hudson character is back home on the plantation. He and his family and several others are going to Mexico. He visits the small cemetery where his people are resting and apologized for not being able to keep the place. As he turns toward his house a buggy arrives carrying a white guy and a black guy. They want to buy the plantation and know the family is broke figuring they can get it cheap. Hudson tells them to leave and the black guy asks in a shotty tone who's gonna pick ya cotton?
The family leaves and Hudson torches the house.

The Mexicans beat the French who snuck in why we were shooting each other in the ACW. It didn't take for long as the French won the second battle and captured Mexico City.

Phil Sheridan and a number of troops had to sail to South Texas to encourage Maxililian we could enforce the Monroe doctrine. He missed the victory Parades and everything. The French army pulled out and eventually the Mexicans could take down the remaining government and retake the country.

252 In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is a fairly minor holiday.

99% of Letists do not know that Cinco de Mayp is NOT Mexican Independence Day. (That's September 16.) May 5 is simply the celebration of a military victory over the French Army. But because it srta coincided with pre-exiting Aztec spring ritual days that were still celebrated in the countryside, May 5 tok n more importance that it otherwise would have. But even so, still not a major holiday.

Mostly it's "Make Money off of Gringos Getting Drunk Day."

We can't deport 30 million people if they all must have trials. We can't deport 30 million people if they all must have hearings before an immigration judge.

I agree that incentives shouldn't be large enough to attract scammers, but reasonable accommodations to encourage self-deportation are imminently sensible.

Besides that, many--probably most--illegal aliens haven't done anything illegal except entering the country. So yes, they broke the law, just as every one of us has broken the law. Every single one of us.

I know some illegals who work hard, take care of their families, and live quiet, law-abiding lives. The should leave, but punitive measures against those people just don't make any sense at all.

So we show up, generally dressed casually but one guy wore his lederhosen.
The Colonel is laughing his ass off and so is his wife.
Once we are all there, he coms out with a stack of aprons neatly folded, and each with a sheet of directions.

Interesting news from Gaza. Hamas has admitted that many of the Civilian casualties they tout were Hamas fighters of various ages. Someone did a stat analysis and a large percentage were of military age and males, which would not be the case of random bombardment.

In fact, since Hamas has bomb shelters and the Gazans do not, you would expect more women and children deaths than random.

Just like how most Indians didn't find the Redskins team name offensive.

There are dozens of sports teams on Indian reservations named “Redskins.” They don’t consider it offensive. Just the opposite.

345 >>> 315 Speaking of odd holidays, I had a Colonel for a boss when I was stationed in Arizona. A great guy. One LtCol and five Majors working for him. One day we all received invitations to his house for Gueiselkuch. N idea what Gueiselkuch was. We are all looking crap up and hitting the library but no luck. So we show up, generally dressed casually but one guy wore his lederhosen.
The Colonel is laughing his ass off and so is his wife.
Once we are all there, he coms out with a stack of aprons neatly folded, and each with a sheet of directions.
"What we are celebrating," he said, "was the ladies sit and chat and the Guys Will Cook!"
It turned into an awesome party!

Cinco De Mayo is just a day for Gringo's to get sloppy drunk, eat mexican food and have diarrhea for 2 days.

Same with St Patty's except the food is worse and the diarrhea is 1 day.

347 Who knows how many people self-deport? We don't have any clear idea of how many are here in the first place. It's anyone's guess, but I'm betting the answer is "not many."

Inertia is tough to overcome in the first place, and all the more so if you owe a ruthless human trafficker $$$ for getting here, and your only motivation to leave is amorphous threats from a temporary President and his staff.

I think the real measure of the impact from Trump and Homan's policies is how many opt to stay in the old countries. Again - nearly impossible to quantify, but definitely significant, and the most important thing.

If they never become New Americans, we don't have to convert them into ex-Americans.

Oh yeah...Warner Oland. That guy made a career out of playing Asians, and he was Swedish. They gave him crap even back then about it and he claimed to have Mongolian ancestry. However, the conventional wisdom is that he was pulling an Elizabeth Warren move and applied make-up to appear Asian.

351 We can't deport 30 million people if they all must have trials. We can't deport 30 million people if they all must have hearings before an immigration judge.

They can have a summary hearing in front of an Article II judge who could even travel with the BP agents. Shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes, tops. It’s out of the Article III judges hands, though the Left pretends otherwise. Trump would do well to set up a lot of Article III judges, who are basically glorified clerks and who work for the Executive, not the Judicial, branch.

Was it ever really a great melting pot? I thought "States Rights" were about limiting a lot of that "Melting"? Puritans and other Christian groups of other states didn't' want to be subject to some Great Melting?

Those of Irish and English descent hardly ever bomb each others. Germans immigrants have never invaded Indiana to get to the Polish areas of Chicago.

The only states rights that was under discussion in the ACW was slavery. In the war German northern units fought German southern ones, Irish brigades fought another on both sides at Fredericksburg. I know there were a few Swedish regiments in the North, I don't recall any in the South.

364 AOP you are on to one of the main objectives here. Self-deportation, "stealth" or through the announced program, is the key. The scale and pervasive nature of the mass illegal and govt.-engineered improper (abuse of asylum etc) migration is so enormous that just removing people is the priority. We're talking the non-serious criminal, non-organized crime affiliated and non-"special interest" (intel/terror) people here.

Even without the absurd lawfare and judicial lawlessness now removing the last vestiges of legitimacy from the former constitutional system, the practical challenge here is enormous. Time is of the essence. So the administration is coming up with more and more carrot/stick frameworks to accelerate removals of all kinds. More are coming.
