Marco Gutierrez Taco Trucks On Every Corner Reactions

Skip navigation!

On Thursday's All In With Chris Hayes on MSNBC, Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez warned viewers that if Hillary Clinton wins the election, there'll be "taco trucks on every corner.” “My culture is a very dominant culture,” he said. “It is imposing and it’s causing problems."

Donald Trump has warned us about Mexico sending rapists and drug dealers, but we didn't know his camp was worried about taco trucks crossing the border.

Many saw a contradiction in Gutierrez, who was born in Mexico, cautioning us about this supposed Mexican-food takeover.

For real how much self-loathing do you think Marco Gutierrez has? He must hate being Mexican

“My culture is... very dominant.” the Mexican-born Marco Gutierrez said. “It is imposing and it’s causing problems." Who talks this way??

Others are thinking that a booming food-truck business and a constant taco supply don't sound half-bad.

Some are even taking it as a challenge.

@MayorAdler we need to be leaders otherwise people could end up w/ peas in their guacamole. Which is wrong and crazy.

Overall, it looks like Gutierrez's claim has been counterproductive. Now, people are just hoping Clinton can make good on the promise.

Let me get this straight...@realDonaldTrump loses AND we get taco trucks on every corner?? Heaven on earth! #Imwithtacos

If Hilary wins, 'there'll be Taco Trucks on Every Corner.' Is this a campaign promise? Can it be? https://t.co/DrHTmgwffR #WantsATaco
