These people make my head hurt:
"We're sick and tired of foreign-grown produce and foreign-made salsa entering our country. Few Americans support illegal immigration, but they spend hard-earned dollars on what we see as illegal salsa," explained Founder & CEO Ryan Lambert. "Foreign salsa takes American jobs, disrespects Americans sovereignty, and this Fourth of July, we're encouraging Americans to re-declare our independence and deport foreign salsa."And note this from their FAQ section:
Why was Minuteman Salsa started?That's right, folks. Companies outside of the United State that employ foreign workers and use foreign produce ... those are the companies that contribute to the flood of illegal immigration.
While watching TV coverage of a pro-illegal immigration rally, we realized the salsa we had been consuming was at odds with our values. After a bit of research, we learned that most salsa was made outside the United State [sic] by companies that value profits over patriotism and who contribute to flood of illegal immigration by employing foreign workers and using foreign produce.

You have to admire them, though, for being able to say "illegal salsa" with a straight face.
Um, wasn't there a group who started a ketchup brand along those same lines, because Heinz was owned by Kerry's wife's family? How unoriginal.
The Wiz - Or EyM.
The label makes my eyes bleed. Holy bad design!
Stupidest. Product. Ever.
Why, yes, I think I WOULD prefer to eat at Matt's El Rancho that Polvos!
Are these people kidding? This isn't from The Onion??? This is for REAL?
ILLEGAL Mother F'ing SALSA?!?!??!!!????
Isn't most of the food grown and/or processed in THIS COUNTRY produced using ILLEGAL labor, whereas something IMPORTED keeps citizens of other countries in their own countries???
OMG, my head hurts.
Have so many Americans ALWAYS been this stupid, or is this a new thing?
Totally off topic - well mostly, still on the stupidity topic - is anything funnier than Perry and Strayhorn calling each other out for giving preferential treatment to contributors? So perfect.
Getting back on topic:
Don't the minutemen realize that salsa is (OMG!) MEXICAN food!
South Austin Guy - not so much. Salsa was given to the US as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.
"Foreign salsa"? Maybe they mean like from New Jersey?
"Get-a-rope."
...Obscure reference to Pace Picante Sauce commercial
Yeah, because anyone in Austin would rather go eat lunch at El Arroyo than El Sol y La Luna.
