US EditionTexas Gov. Abbott says he’ll ‘impose 100% tariff’ on New Yorkers who move in
Governor Abbott announced a 100% tariff on New Yorkers moving to Texas after Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win, a move seen as unconstitutional and political posturing.
- In a Monday post on X, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he would impose a 100% tariff on movers from New York City after Tuesday's election, attracting over 16 million views.
- Responding to speculation about post-election migration, Abbott's Monday announcement targeted New York City residents moving after the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday.
- Legal experts note that the Privileges and Immunities Clause and Commerce Clause limit states from taxing newcomers, reserving interstate commerce regulation to U.S. Congress.
- Such a tariff would penalize interstate movement, affecting jobs, housing and spending in the Texas economy, but New York City residents should not seriously worry about enforcement of the proposed tariff.
- Abbott has not posted a related follow-up in 26 hours, leaving observers unsure whether it was serious or jocular; his only X post since the threat noted that one quarter of ICE arrests occur in Texas.
