Cesar Rodriguez, who runs a tamale restaurant on Staten Island with his mother, says customers are staying away. On a good Sunday, the Staten Island tamale restaurant run by Cesar Rodriguez and his mother makes $3,000. Since the start of the year, it has averaged only $1,500, and this past Sunday only $700.

When so many illegals have been deported that none of them are driving through strip-mall parking lots selling tamales out of coolers in car trunks, he'll be doing better.

“Selling tamales in parking lots out of coolers”. That line really hit a chord with me and made me laugh. Here in California...happens a lot! I never buy them from strangers...don’t know the sellers, what’s in ‘em, and don’t know the sanitary conditions of the kitchen where they are made. I do buy them from friends, and beats the restaurants hands down.
