New York City can't use an unconstitutional, two-century-old “anti-pauper” law to block the state of Texas from offering migrants free bus rides to the city from the southern border, a state judge has ruled.
The court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit brought by Mayor Eric Adams in January against charter bus companies contracted by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. It sought to bar them from knowingly dropping off “needy persons,” citing an 1817 state law that criminalized bringing an indigent person into the state “for the purpose of making him a public charge.”
Justice Mary Rosado said in a sternly worded decision that the law is unconstitutional for several reasons.
For one, she wrote, states are not permitted to regulate the interstate transportation of people based on their economic status.
The statute also “violates a fundamental right — the right to travel,” she added.

Nothing like that would happen if illegals including violent gang offenders and released convicted child molesters come in on buses, would it?
It'll soon be time for the Trump DOJ to put Biden and Harris in jail for breaking this law! Like how they charged Trump with 34 counts for a single crime, the DOJ can charge Biden and Harris for 20 million counts of breaking the law. How many years in prison would this be!

Thank you, Governor Abbott
Was that the basis for her ruling ?
get more accurate
Citizens have a constitutional right to travel. Do not recall seeing that explicitly extended to all persons within the US, but glad to be corrected on that.
“The judge’s reasoning was all wrong in this case. Just because a law is old, it doesn’t mean it’s not valid. “
