You might have already heard about the electronic highway signs in Florida that were hacked to read "NO LATINOS" and "NO TACOS."

This is obviously not the first time these signs around the country have been hacked; but they are usually jokes about zombies or something else that is not politically motivated.  Obviously we hold tacos close and dear to our hearts and the thought that anyone could really, truly hate tacos is beyond all imagination.  However, as pointed out in this excerpt from the Huntington Post:

'Reactions to the "No Latinos no tacos" sign have been mixed. One user, @MikeRiggs, tweeted, "I think "No Latinos"/"No Tacos" road sign is pro-immigration... w/o Latinos, you don't get tacos!" Another, @Emmalerner87, called the road signs an instance of discrimination, tweeting in Spanish, "No Tacos No Latinos = Discriminacion."'

Maybe together the meaning could be ambiguous; but separately it is quite clear that this is discrimination and a reflection of the opposing lines of the immigration battle.
