Chicago is home to a proud and vibrant Mexican-American community—the city's best Mexican restaurants are delicious proof of that fact. But that community and fellow Chicagoans will not be able to celebrate their heritage at the city's annual Cinco de Mayo Parade this year.

On Thursday, April 10, organizers announced that this year's parade—which has been held in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, a major hub for Mexican culture and cuisine, for more than four decades—has been canceled, reportedly due to concerns about the Trump administration's immigration policies.

“Our community is very frightened because of the raids and the threat that ICE has imposed on the families that work tirelessly to provide a better future for their kids,"

And….the American people DON’T work tirelessly for our families?

That should tell everyone how big the illegal immigration problem is in the US.

What's to fear if you are here legally?

It isn't the first time that Chicago's Cinco de Mayo festivities have been called off. In 2018 and 2019, Chicagoans had to forego celebration reportedly due to "lack of support" from Ald. George Cardenas, per The Chicago Sun-Times. COVID also added scheduling wonkiness to the usual proceedings, and last year's parade had to be rerouted due to gang-related gun violence, with 27 people taken into custody in connection with the incidents, reported NBC Chicago. Organizers said they are planning for the event's return next year.


Seems like virtue signaling at its best. Very popular event lol.

Oh, I see. It's somehow ICE's fault that you're here illegally?

And all that tireless work somehow doesn't include taking the steps to legalize you and your kids? You'd rather just keep living in fear then, huh?

Afuera!!


* I have a feeling that there might be some unadvertised, unofficial local type celebrations still.

Cinco de Mayo is a made up American event promoted by beer companies and restaurants. It's not celebrated in Mexico.

Exactly. Deport the ones who serve shitty food. Grant exceptions to those who know how to cook.

You hear so much about “immigrant fear” & “immigrant safety” when all it really means is having to take responsibility for their own illegal actions…..like that’s a bad thing.

So cancelling an opportunity for all of those Mexican restaurants to sell lots of food and margaritas is going to help them?

But not frightened enough to do what is required to become a legal citizen of the US.

You are correct, but so what? Half of Mexico is already in the US and damn well celebrates it. Well, at least everywhere but Chicago now
