Threat of ‘taco truck on every corner’ backfires as internet cheers

[yuiyoshida]

A Latino surrogate for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warned that, if his candidate loses, the US will end up with “taco trucks on every corner.” Perhaps no one told him that Taco Tuesday is a thing… and Election Day is on a Tuesday…

When Marco Gutierrez, founder of the Latinos for Trump group and a Mexican-born immigrant to the US, appeared on MSNBC Thursday night, he issued what he thought was a dire warning for Americans: If Trump loses to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, immigrants ‒ especially Latinos ‒ will take over.

“My culture is a very dominant culture, and it’s imposing and it’s causing problems,” he told Joy Reid. “If you don’t do something about it, you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner.”

Unfortunately for Gutierrez, however, that threat came off more like a promise, a la the Republicans’ 1928 campaign ad that said under Herbert Hoover there would be “a chicken for every pot and a car for every garage.”

1. Damn straight!

I know several people who would chip in to make sure the truck on our corner is above average in serving tasty treats. Tacos hold a very special place here and excellent ones are spoken of in reverent tones.
