Trying to get the Latino vote, Hillary Clinton's campaign is conducting a voter registration drive Friday at eight taco trucks in southwest Detroit. The move comes two weeks after a Trump supporter warned on MSNBC there will be "taco trucks on every corner" unless Latino immigration is dealt with.

The registration will be at trucks on Vernor, Dix, Springwells and Olivet, according to a Clinton campaign official. The efforts are part of several by the Clinton campaign in recent weeks to get out the vote in various communities, including Arab Americans in Dearborn, African Americans in Detroit, and other communities across the state. Southwest Detroit has a sizable Latino population, including many Mexican Americans.

"Our organizing events are part of a statewide effort to make sure that Michigan residents are registered to vote ahead of the Oct. 11 deadline," Mitchell Rivard, Michigan Communications Director for Hillary for America, said Wednesday. "Our coordinated campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot has hired a team of committed organizers that are focused on recruiting volunteers, registering voters, and turning out the vote on Nov. 8."

1. "Arab Americans in Dearborn"

There are a whole lot of Arab Americans in Detroit as well as I came to find out when I went there several times in the '90s.

2. Come to Texas and register voters! We have millions of unregistered minority voters

here! Turn this state blue and the Republicans will never win another national election!

of taco trucks heading from Michigan to Texas.
