"If the Mayor persists in this lawsuit, he may be held legally accountable for his violations."
– Governor Greg Abbott
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement earlier today after New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he would be filing a lawsuit against bus companies that have been participating in Texas' migrant transportation mission.
"This lawsuit is baseless and deserves to be sanctioned. It's clear Mayor Adams knows nothing about the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution – or about the constitutional right to travel that has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Every migrant bused or flown to New York City did so voluntarily, after having been authorized by the Biden Administration to remain in the United States.
"As such, they have constitutional authority to travel across the country that Mayor Adams is interfering with. If the Mayor persists in this lawsuit, he may be held legally accountable for his violations."

- “Four years ago, the United States had the fewest number of illegal border crossings in decades. President Biden's done nothing to halt illegal immigration, and his deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself."
