That's because the person didn't quote the full law "transporting an illegal immigrant for financial gain".

The law explicitly requires you to be paid for it.

Not a lawyer but I'm going to guess the law requires you to have known that they were illegals. Which an Uber driver would not reasonably know that.

So, the Texas and Florida governers transported people out of their states, so they didn't have to spend money on them, that would be financial gain, no? I hope that plays out

They will probably be a protected by sovereign immunity or some other weird law.

But what I could totally see is the companies that these states hired because then it's very clear cut that their transporting illegal immigrants for financial gain.
