Texas governor warns any New Yorkers trying to flee south after Mamdani's win will be slapped with 100% tariff

Texas Governor Greg Abbott promised to place an 100 percent tariff on any New Yorker who tries to flee the Big Apple should socialist Zohran Mamdani win the mayor's race Tuesday.

Abbott, a key Donald Trump ally in the Lone Star State, showed no sympathy for anyone trying to escape from New York if the socialist is elected.

'After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a[n] 100 percent tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,' he wrote.

It would be a huge barrier for the nearly one million New Yorkers preparing to flee the city should democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani win the race for mayor, as a recent poll suggested.

It's unclear if there's a legal avenue for Texas to treat people like imported goods and place an extra tax on them.

While many states currently have an 'exit tax' for leaving, they do not currently have any sort of a 'moving tax' for those arriving. 

Abbott becomes the latest Republican to condemn Mamdani, who Trump has referred to as a 'communist' who would be 'the worst mayor in history.'

The race has many Republicans endorsing Cuomo, the former Democrat governor of New York state.

Likely not.

But a clear conveyance of intent, nonetheless. No tariff necessary, just post rates for New Yorkers that are double...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
