Tabasco is a state in Mexico on the Gulf Coast, located right about the point where the coastline has just made its "eastward curve" out towards the Yucatan Peninsula.
There is a small chili pepper that is native to the Tabasco area of Mexico that is produced in multiple colors which is known as the "Tabasco pepper," which is used as the basis for Tabasco sauce.

Tabasco Sauce is made in Avery Island, Louisiana, located about 30 to 35 miles South Southeast of Lafayette, Louisiana ( ahem! where I live ), or by way of general description using the map below, in the upper portion of Iberia Parish near its coastline on Vermillion Bay.
Now; as to your comments on the situation in Mexico potentially leading to a new influx of immigrants, this is precisely the danger we face and that is why we have been paying such close attention to the post-election controversy. If Lopez Obrador decides to tear Mexico apart it will be to the advantage of those areas of southern Mexico and to the disadvantage of the northern region of the country, just south of our border. It is my opinion that we could see another 10 million immigrants over the next five years if Lopez Obrador decides to rip his country apart because he lost -- and he really has lost -- the election. You should pray for a peaceful transition to a Calderon presidency because any other result bodes ill for us.
