Cinco de Mayo Recognizes Key Battle In Mexico

“Maybe Illegal Immigrants will be going home... Mexico's economy is hot. The government is awash in oil profits. Exports are at record levels. The stock market index has tripled during the past ten years. Unemployment is at 3.3 percent.”

We've all heard of Cinco de Mayo, but do you know what it represents? May 5, 1862, was when Mexican forces defeated French forces in the Battle of Puebla. via MyFOX Atlanta
