You'd be hard pressed to not find reasons why Mexico might not have the best things to say about America. Let's see, we export cheap labor to their nation, we hoard the best spots of their country for our own private, all-inclusive vacation resorts, and oh yeah, we put up a giant fence up and said no entry--I'm sure they really loved that one.
But one day I believe Mexico (or Mehico as I like to say) thought up the grandest scheme of all to seek revenge. That plan is called Cinco de Mayo. It's important to know that this is a Mexican holiday that really isn't celebrated that much in the land of 'don't drink the water.' But that's not what America likes to think.
As if we couldn't pack enough into the Fourth of July, we had to lunge over into our neighboring country's holiday calendar. Here's where the revenge comes in. The plan: import lots of tequila and various other booze, make everyone think it's a day that celebrates the independence of Mehico (it's not), and then on the day following when everyone is really hungover, that's when the border jump begins. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Until next year, here's hoping you had a good Mexican Independence day!
