Most people aren’t moving into any of the red states, though (maybe Texas)?

And with the all states right thing that they are pushing hopefully Trump will be dead by them time they have enough political capital to restrict stuff on a Federal level.

That's objectively not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Annual_population_growth_... .

Hoping someone is dead is very much in poor taste imo.

"And with the all states right thing that they are pushing hopefully Trump will be dead by them time they have enough political capital to restrict stuff on a Federal level."

This sentence doesn't make any sense to me, 'states rights' is a federalistic concept, it's inherently against adding new restrictions at the federal level.

Did you paste the wrong link? That’s a population growth map, not immigration specifically? Also it’s from 2022…

I mean you might be right or wrong but declining population in California doesn’t mean that a lot of immigrants are moving there (and I of course wasn’t talking about all immigrants in general but rather people who might be on HN which aren’t exactly a random sample).

> Hoping someone is dead is very much in poor taste imo

Is it? Much more extreme rhetoric is perfectly normalized and accepted these days in the US these days..
