In what might be Street Stall (2015)the most delicious protest ever, a wall of taco trucks formed outside a Trump hotel in Vegas Wednesday ahead of the final presidential debate.
The gathering was arranged by The Culinary Union, PLAN Action and the Latino Victory Project with the purpose of "reminding Mr. Trump that immigrant workers here and across the country will be watching the debate and voting in November."

Trump supporter Marco Gutierrez, founder of the group Latinos for Trump, also famously warned of taco trucks on every corner -- an idea that was welcomed and mocked in equal measure at the time.

"Mr. Donald Trump said he wants to make America great again, but here in Las Vegas, his employees are paid less than the culinary workers working on the Las Vegas strip," Culinary Union spokeswoman Bethany Khan told reporters.
"Most of his workers are women and immigrants. They are making his hotels great again. Unfortunately, he doesn't support them with the dignity and respect they deserve."

The taco-filled protest took on a carnival feel under the hot Nevada sun, with one stand blasting C+C Music Factory's classic "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" as they flipped tortillas.

Jesse Jackson turned up at one point to give a speech too. "We have a choice, embrace each other and work out our differences or deport millions of people," he said according to one onlooker.
