[ABX]

So he is trying to hurt Trump?

The founder of Latinos for Trump warned on MSNBC tonight that there’s a problem of Latino culture in the U.S. that needs to be stopped before there are taco trucks on every corner......

So what's the downside?

[sinkspur]

Falafel trucks, gyro trucks, gumbo trucks, sushi trucks, moo goo gai pan trucks............where will it all end?

[massadvj]

If it's fish tacos, I am in.

Barbacoa tacos!

John Kerry's first experience with a cheese steak


"Hey, Garson! Can I get some arugula and cambozola cheese with this crap I'm pretending to eat!?"

Here is food truck a little more suited to our 'Oh so high and mighty' political class.


Silver Bullet
Based in Seattle, Skillet street food's unique personality starts with a shiny Airstream trailer, which offers a continually evolving menu of chef Josh Henderson's carefully crafted meals, like coriander-braised duck or a grass-fed beef burger with arugula and cambozola cheese. Obama and John Kerry give it two thumbs up.

Lunch trucks should be made illegal. They take up valuable parking spaces at the curb and they usually smell like an open manhole.

Honestly, if a candidate ran on #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner and nothing else, I suspect they would win around 80% of the vote.

FAJITA JIHAD!!!!!

I fail to see this as a problem. Immigrants of whatever stripe being capitalist is a good thing. It certainly goes against the old "lazy Mexican' stereotype.

I for one, welcome our new Taco Truck overlords. I hit one for lunch today, and I venture to say, 75% of the people there could not speak English, and it was great.

I have yet to ever meet this so-called Lazy Mexican. The legal ones I know of usually work 2-3 jobs, and the illegal ones I know of or suspect (like my neighbor's gardener) work even harder than that.

Agreed you can find plenty of work ethic. You can find the welfare/food stamp queens who try to pack as many people into a house as they can to up the foods stamp funds. That's hardly a problem limited to any race though.

Seems to me that Trump and friend's ever more extreme positions are doing more harm than good for legitimate border control and immigration issues.

Sure they should be legal and licensed but Taco vendors are hardly a priority.

Turning this into a race issue is damaging to legitimate border control concerns.

I didn't see the story but my mother mentioned something about a bunch of Poles getting caught crossing the Detroit river the other day.

Has anyone mentioned that in Texas we already have taco trucks on every corner?  Not to mention the dozens of sit-down restaurants that have "Taco" in the name, or that serve tacos.

And we like it that way!   

[HonestJohn]

That graph looks like a Pac-Man, looking up, with a mouthful of taco.

Trump should counter with an announcement; as long as the owners of the truck have a legitimate business license, have a permit to do business on the street corner and are in this country legally; then there should be no problem.  In other words; this could be a golden opportunity to start rounding people up who shouldn't be here or doing business here in the first place!

My favorite place on earth to get gorditas is a rickety shanty built onto and around a taco truck on Harry Hines.  Thankfully, it's a bit far for me to drive every day or I wouldn't be able to get through the front door. 

This is the place, but it looks nothing like this from the street.  There's a taco truck smack dab in the middle of it.  LOL



Google street view:  (Yes, it's the same place.)

The only thing that place is missing is a drive-thru Margarita window!

No.  Leave out taco trucks alone. 

And remember:

Tacos are served on CORN tortillas

Burritos are served on FLOUR tortillas
