'Guac The Vote' - "taco trucks on every corner"

Latino Business Group Starts 'Guac The Vote' Effort
by Suzanne Gamboa

The U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is trying to turn the "taco trucks on every corner" comment made by a Donald Trump supporter into a voter registration campaign dubbed Guac The Vote.

Javier Palomarez, the chamber's president, said the organization is trying to corral the strength of the more than 200 local chambers of commerce and business associations that make up the USHCC to help make the taco trucks centers for signing up more voters.

"We are hoping in the next to weeks it will be in full swing," said Palomarez, who added that work is underway to coalesce local chambers around the idea and in determining any spending for it.

Last week, Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez, told MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid that if illegal immigration from Mexico went unchecked, the country would end up with a "taco truck on every corner."

The comment immediately set off social media with mocking responses. Soon it became a reason to vote for Hillary Clinton.
Along with the hashtag, #tacosoneverycorner
some sent tweets with #guacthevote a hashtag that has had other uses over the years on social media.
