Road Rage: Hackers Say 'No Latinos' on Highway Sign

Electronic road sign hackers generally like to warn motorists of zombie and raptor attacks, but in South Florida, the signs are apparently being used to fuel the immigration debate.

A highway sign flashing "NO LATINOS NO TACOS" greeted drivers on the Palmetto Expressway in Northwest Miami-Dade, after hackers managed to alter it early Tuesday morning.

The sign was in the northbound side of the 826, right near the Northwest 25th street exit.

It's unknown how long the sign had been flashing the message, but by 6 a.m., members of the Florida Highway Patrol and a road crew had turned the sign away from the highway and were working to erase the message.

It means if we kick out the illegals we won't be able to buy tacos.

That's a leftwing hacker.

I was thinking the same thing.  Nobody has anything against latinos.

Doesn't surprise me.  They're all at the Burger King near where I live.

Taco Bell has mostly white kids working, the other fast food places have a mix of black and white, with most of the white people being mostly older women.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Mexican working here, but I know they exist. I know they work at several plants in other towns. One of the big ones is a pork processing plant.
