Border towns celebrate it because of the tourism and people get drunk and spend money in their towns so thats why. The rest of Mexico outside of puebla don't really celebrate it at all.

But yes here in america its just the "party" aspect of celebration and nothing like the festivities in Puebla.

P.S. "Cinco de Mayo" is a Senses Fail song. It doesn't have to do with the holiday, but it's a great song.

If there's one thing to learn from St. Patrick's Day, it's that Americans will take whatever chances to get drunk you throw at them. :P

Cinco de Mayo.. That's a Mexican holiday, but they don't celebrate it Mexico. In the U.S. we celebrate it.. is that because almost every Mexican has snuck into America?
