There had been some groups through the years who wanted to make Cinco De Mayo a holiday viewed by the United States. Why? It celebrates the date Mexico declared its independence from Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810 and took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
Nowhere in the history of the holiday does it mention the United States so I can't fathom seeing this holiday pass. This is all we need, more holidays to take off from work. To me, today is just another ordinary day with clowns driving around town playing crappy Mexican music.
