Since everyone who is not Irish celebrates St. Patrick's Day, everyone who is not Mexican can celebrate Cinco de Mayo.I realize that it was all in gest, but it sunk in that Cinco de Mayo is an illustration how too many Mexicans immigrating here are not assimilating and the political/social correctness of the Progressives certainly doesn't help. Indeed, We the People have allowed the language of Mexico, which was forced upon them by Spain during its occupation of the Central American country, has been forced upon the United States thanks to the takeover of our government by progressive socialists who call themselves "Democrats". Indeed, RINOs in the Republican Party haven't been much help.

Saint Patrick's Day is actually a Catholic "Feast Day" that is special to the Irish because the Romano-British Catholic bishop attributed for Christianizing Druid-pagan Celtic Ireland. It has become an Irish celebration of their culture as well as a great feast day of the Church of Ireland no matter where Irish folks may be. It is coupled with Holy Week, a 5-day celebration until 2060 so as to coincide with Palm Sunday.
Cinco de Mayo is not a religious holiday celebrated until recently only in Mexico. Unlike St. Patrick's Day being celebrated by Irish in many countries, it is a remembrance day for the victory Battle of Puebla against the French occupation forces of Napoleon.
It is now made a tradition in the United States by US Presidents to recognize Cinco de Mayo as a celebration of Mexican culture. This was made official in US Congress in 2005 by concurrent resolution and approved by President Bush.
