One of Philadelphia’s most prominent Latin American events, El Carnaval de Puebla, has been canceled this year because of what one organizer called “the severe conditions affecting the immigrant community.” The annual parade through South Philadelphia has taken place in late April or early May for the last decade and is the city’s largest Cinco de Mayo celebration. Organizer Edgar Ramirez said as many as 15,000 gather from as far as New England and Chicago.

I would have hated to be the one to break this news to Jeb. He was probably in line to be the grand marshal of the parade.

I can’t wait until we see the headline: “Illegals no longer sneaking into the U.S. for fear of being deported”.

ICE roundups of LaRaza thugs during Cinco de Mayo events would be a great way for Trump to put the roundup of illegals into high gear!

I agree that this is a win,,,, BUT my opinion is that the ulterior motive is gin up anti-Trump sentiment by making the people "feel the pain".
They could still have the parade and recommend that illegal immigrants not attend but that would not fit the political goals of these anti-American ethnic front groups. Just like the litigation against Trump's terrorist vetting plan, this is yet another reminder that the left will do anything and sacrifice anyone for political power.

During these times, I’d be concerned about what comes out of a kitchen as food. Might be worth looking through a kitchen window before patronizing a place.

Some people do feel it is about ‘immigration’ as an overall subject. But I am not one to deny it at this point to put that in the same class as illegals.

On the one hand, illegals are the life’s-blood sucking drain on us with no end in sight. On the other hand is an immigration system which I really don’t feel we need if our own real citizens were treated fairly and supported with out tax dollars however that becomes necessary. It is when we allow chain immigration, yes even legal, where the denizens of that can apply for SS or other welfare benefits after having worked for minimum wages for the requisite number of quarters and then moving off to the next free loader.

I’ve been to those SS offices, I’ve seen the foreign freeloaders and all their old parents and grand parents. All products of this ‘legal’ immigration.

My first objective is to rid us of the illegals because they are the death knell. My second long term objective is the do away with chain immigration that begets nothing but entitlement spending.

Indeed. Apparently they aren’t “living in the shadows” as is so often claimed. I am shocked, shocked!

But the overall net effect, even with a mixed purpose, still cautions the illegals in some manner.

MY goal is to make every frigging illegal afraid and watching over their shoulder 24/7/365. CONSTANTLY!

If dems and the media would stop saying “immigrant crackdown” and make sure all immigrants know that LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE SAFE but there is an “illegal immigrant crackdown”, there wouldn’t be so much fear.

Of course they want fear and are willing to lie to create it.
