FREEEEEEDUUUUUMB!

A Houston Mexican restaurant kept requiring masks despite @GregAbbott_TX lifting the statewide requirement. Within hours, they received messages on social media & emails threatening to call ICE & saying their green cards should be checkedhttps://t.co/qpvt48Sr8M by @EmmaBalter

I’m guessing most of the people calling and posting and e-mailing are not patrons.  Also, that they just saw “Mexican” and went “ICE!”  Yeah, I know, “kitchen staff.”  But I’ve lived in Houston long enough to know the restaurants are run by a dizzying variety of nations/cultures making excellent food not at all connected to suppositions about their culture and cuisine.  People stupid enough to threaten a restaurant they can just decline to patronize are people stupid enough to see “Mexican” and decide the whole place is run by undocumented mestizos.
