WASHINGTON, May 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following are remarks by President George W. Bush at a Cinco de Mayo celebration:
The Rose Garden

2:54 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Please be seated. Siéntese. Bienvenidos. Thank you for coming. Welcome to El Jardin de las Rosas. It's a great place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. As a matter of fact, I've been looking forward to celebrating this so much that we decided to have our own Cuatro de Mayo. (Laughter.)

Thanks for coming. Welcome. I'm honored to celebrate this important holiday with you all. On Cinco de Mayo, we remember our close friendship with Mexico, and we honor and remember the many contributions Mexican Americans have made to our nation.
I'm sorry Laura couldn't be here. She's coming back from having camped out in a national park with high school classmates. I'm honored to be here with the attorney general of the United States, mi amigo, Alberto Gonzales. (Applause.) Y tambien, the secretary of commerce, Carlos Gutierrez. (Applause.) Y su esposa, Edi. (Applause.) I'm glad to be here with Dr. Emilio Gonzalez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Gloria. (Applause.) I appreciate my friend Emilio Estefan for arranging this entertainment here in the Rose Garden. I welcome the ambassador to Mexico, Arturo. Bienvenidos. I'm glad you're here. Thanks for coming. (Applause.)

As you can see, I'm standing up here with a mariachi band, initially from Monterrey, Mexico -- Los Hermanos Mora Arriaga. Welcome. (Applause.) Brothers and sisters -- I think you told me you had 13 brothers and -- 15 brothers and sisters. (Laughter.) We believe in family values. (Laughter.)
I want to thank those who wear the uniform of the United States. Thank you for serving. (Applause.)

Cinco de Mayo celebrates a great Mexican victory at the battle of Puebla. On May 5, 1862, an outnumbered band of Mexican soldiers held their ground against a professional European army. They triumphed against overwhelming odds. The victory inspired Mexican patriots in their heroic fight for liberty, and for democracy. Cinco de Mayo is a joyful day in Mexican history, and it's an important milestone in the history of freedom.
The people of the United States are proud to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with our Mexican neighbors. Our two countries continue to stand for the principles that the Mexico army defended at Puebla. We believe that democracy represents the true will of people. We believe that freedom is God's gift to every man, woman and child on the face of this Earth. (Applause.)

We believe that both our nations have a responsibility to share the blessings of liberty. The United States and Mexico are bound by strong family ties. Mexican Americans have enriched our culture by sharing their musical and artistic talents. They've strengthened our economy by opening new businesses and expanding trade. And they have made our nation more hopeful by leading lives of faith and family.

Mexican Americans have also defended the United States by wearing our nation's uniform. Today, Mexican Americans in uniform answered the call to advance the cause of liberty, and this nation is really grateful for your service and your sacrifice. (Applause.)
The patriotism of Mexican Americans reminds us that one of our greatest strengths is the character and diversity of our nation's immigrants. Immigration has made our land a great melting pot of talent and ideas. It has made America a beacon of hope for people in search of a better life.

In Washington, we're now in the midst of an important discussion about immigration. Our current immigration system is in need of reform. It is not working. We need a system where our laws are respected. We need a system that meets the needs of our economy. And we need a system that treats people with dignity and helps newcomers assimilate into our society. (Applause.)
We must address all elements of this problem together, or none of them will be solved at all. We must do it in a way that learns from the mistakes that caused previous reforms to fail. I support comprehensive immigration reform that will allow us to secure our borders and enforce our laws, to keep us competitive in the global economy, and to resolve the status of those already here, without amnesty and without animosity.

Comprehensive immigration reform is a vital goal for our nation, and it is a matter of deep conviction for me. I will continue to work closely with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to build a consensus for reform, so Congress can pass, and I can sign, a comprehensive immigration bill into law este año. (Applause.)
The United States and Mexico share a great border, and we share a hopeful future. Tomorrow, people on both sides of that border will celebrate freedom and the courage of all who defend it. I wish you a happy Cinco de Mayo. Que Dios los bendiga a las Estados Unidos y tambien Mexico. (Applause.)

And now, Los Hermanos Mora Arriaga. (Applause.)

When did this holiday become so important that it required the president of the United States to make a speech. Everywhere I look some reference is being made to this so called holiday. It is just sickening to see how firm in their convictions Bush and the other evil politicians are that America should be over run by all this illegal trash. What exactly do we get from them by having them here. They depress the wage structure of any industry that hires them and put American citizens out of work. The are killing our hospitals and medical services by demanding to be treated with no money or insurance. They cost us many times any money they put into the system by soaking up relief and program money put in the system to help the elderly and poor Americans. In return the clean a few toilets and mow a few lawns jobs junior use to do after school and on weekends.
Their numbers must be skyrocketing in the past six months because I can't go anywhere with out seeing one of them walking with the trademark back pack or riding a big Schwinn Bicycle along the side of the road. Soon their numbers will be so great that there will be no stopping them. At that point the America I know will cease to exist and we will just be another third world country.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cinco De  Mayo.  When did this become a major american holiday?
The other day at work I heard the night shift planning how to celebrate Cinco De Mayo - with not a mexican amongst them.
Yesterday when I walked into the cafeteria at work I thought I had crossed the border.
All the cafeteria employees were wearing sombreros.
A bunch of white and black people looking goofy and uncomfortable.
My child's school had a week of Cinco De Mayo events - but patriotic american holidays are barely mentioned.
Maybe Jorge Bush can run for Presidente of Mexico now that he will soon be out of work.
