Wearing masks or violating the civil rights of immigrants. Which is worse?

If you're a Republican, you'll come to the wrong answer.

From Texas Tribune -

Gov. Greg Abbott draws criticism for ordering state troopers to pull over vehicles with migrants, saying it will stem COVID-19 risk

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state troopers on Wednesday to begin pulling over vehicles whose drivers are transporting migrants who pose a risk of carrying COVID-19, escalating his hardline approach on immigrants and eliciting outrage from advocates calling the order a ticket to racial profiling.

The executive order allows Texas Department of Public Safety troopers to reroute those vehicles back to their origin point or a port of entry, or seize the vehicles if the driver does not comply.

Blaming the "other" is nothing new for Republicans.

In 2006, I was at a community meeting in south Scottsdale where State Rep. John Kavanagh blamed immigrants for leprosy.

Edit on 7/30 to add: I was wrong.  Not about Kavanagh and his bigotry.  Nope.  It was in 2007 or 2008.

Apologies to readers for the error.

End edit.
