Yesterday, the founder of Latinos for Trump — Marco Gutierrez — warned that if their candidate loses in November, “you’re gonna have taco trucks on every corner.”

Shortly thereafter, the Filipinos for Trump echoed a similar sentiment, saying that only a Trump victory will prevent the proliferation of lumpia trucks in California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Hawaii and other U.S. states and cities with large Pinoy populations.

Both organizations urged their respective communities to do all they can to make sure Trump is elected president in order to keep  America white and great again.

BREAKING: Donald Trump Prevented From Leaving Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Just minutes after meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was held by Mexican immigration authorities and prevented from returning to the United States.

While reports were sketchy, sources at the U.S. State Department said that Trump is being charged for violating Mexican immigration laws.  The candidate and his entourage didn’t have the appropriate entry and exit permits.

While Americans do not need a visa to visit Mexico, Mr. Trump was on a highly-classified list of foreign nationals needing special visiting permits.  By virtue of his campaign rhetoric against immigrants and Mexico, Trump has been declared ‘persona non grata’ and  is therefore not eligible under the visa-free policy of Mexico.

The Trump campaign has sought the help of Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Department to intercede with the Mexican government to allow the GOP candidate to return to the U.S.

“It was a clear clase of misunderstanding,” the Trump campaign said.
