According to economists, the United States is currently undergoing one of the largest mass migrations in its brief history. Over five million individuals have reportedly moved out of “blue states” like California in search of better opportunities in Texas or Florida.

Celebrities that have left “blue” California in recent years include Rob Schneider, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Walberg, and Joe Rogan. The Democratic Party of the country is frequently held accountable, as Schenider clarifies, saying, “I really feel like I don’t want the Democratic Party trying to run my life. And there’s not one aspect of your life that they don’t want to interfere with. I had it with them.”

Over Five Million Americans Have Fled the “Blue States”

In a recent appearance with Fox Business, well-known economist Stephen Moore clarified that the tendency is far wider than initially believed. In the past ten years, more than five million Americans have reportedly left “blue states” including California, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey.

Americans’ Patience Running Out
People moving out of blue-voting states will occasionally say that they have had enough of the negative effects of Democratic policy. Some believe that their democratically elected governments have not delivered much development and have instead let the people down.

Progressive Policies Gone Too Far?
Some feel that progressive measures have gone too far and are frustrating. Issues that inhabitants find particularly difficult to deal with include homelessness, crime, and property prices.

Got to the Point I Was Too Scared to Leave My House
A significant number of people escaping from large cities may have been driven out by recent increases in crime. An increase in crime is frequently linked to urban exodus. According to CNN, in response to a rash of crimes, several Oakland, California, homeowners felt insecure in the neighborhood and increased security. Kristin Cook, a local, went to Texas because she “got to the point I was too scared to leave my house.”

Higher Taxes in “Blue States”
Although Moore acknowledges that it’s challenging to determine the precise reason for Americans’ desire to leave the “blue states,” he has proposed two theories as to why the migrations are occurring. The economist said that a major factor in the migrations is the desire of firms to concentrate in “red states” due to the perks, as well as higher taxes in “blue states.”

You Can Move to Florida and Texas and Pay Zero!
“California just adopted a new tax increase,” stated the economist. The state agreed to raise the highest tax level for those making more than $1 million to 14.4%. “You can move to Florida and Texas and pay zero,” he said. “This is a no-brainer.” Moore went on, “I wish these blue states would get together and stop avoiding reality, which is taxes do matter, and they matter a lot.”

Better Right-To-Work Laws in Red States
According to Moore, there is “a migration of business activity and capital investment” departing the “blue states” in addition to inhabitants. His argument holds that companies are moving to the “red states” because of their stronger right-to-work legislation, which are crucial in maintaining the union-worker connection.

A Pro-business Atmosphere
These particular restrictions were put in place to make sure that workers could not be coerced into joining a union or making dues payments if they choose not to. Moore clarified that this may be a contributing factor in the large number of companies moving to “red states,” stating, “They have lighter regulation, better policies across the board. A pro-business atmosphere.”


 
I'm one of two who left Iowa because of their dumbass gop state government. Goes both ways.
This is a feature, not a bug, in our federal system.

Worse would be a federal policy that you couldn’t move out from under.
 
Rob Schneider and a shill from the Heritage Foundation?! That's your source?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are hysterically stupid.

The reality is that the exact opposite is occurring where abortion protections are erased.

Large companies are having more trouble recruiting younger workers (women and married men with wives of child-bearing age), because they do not want to be in a state that they cannot get appropriate pre-natal care in the event of a problem pregnancy or miscarriage.

They've seen where it required a judge to "sign off" on a woman going thru a miscarriage to get a legal abortion, and even in that case, the AG said he was going to prosecute and deny the request.

This only gets worse, as more companies encounter this issue and have people taking off work due to severe complications that could be addressed within a day with a simple, necessary medical procedure.






 
Caterpillar Inc. Headquarters is now located in Irving, Texas
They began the transition of moving out of Illinois in 2022.
Caterpillar Inc. still has some manufacturing plants in various
cities in Illinois and elsewhere. However, the headquarters is
now in Texas for economic reasons.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm guessing Cat is moving much of their manufacturing to Mexico and Texas gives them a geographical advantage over Illinois.
 
My wife should have the same rights regardless of zip code in the country.
Then you need to get it enshrined in the Federal constitution.
That has a high bar, requiring a high level of concurrent opinion.
That’s why federalism offers a remedy.
 
I’m so confused, if I don’t want the mentally ill former president and his band of cultists to run my life, where do I go?

California, NY, and Illinois, leading abortion states also win the jackpot for out migration. Obviously other factors significantly outweigh abortion rights in most people’s choice of where to live. Red states are winning the lifestyle battle currently due to the nightmare of progressive (socialist) policies that elites, some elected, but most unelected, continue to shove down our throats.

People are leaving expensive, popular, areas for cheaper housing

But they will still follow where companies are moving, which is away from your Red state theocracies.

It's only been a few years. Let's see what the long game leads to.

And the blue state autocracies have resulted in expensive, high tax, crime-ridden communities with failing public schools that people and businesses are fleeing, yet they keep spending. California is billions in debt. Tax the rich! The top 1% already pay 45% of the state’s income tax. Next up- the wealth tax. Isn’t progressivism great? It’s a totalitarian concept. The elites take your money and spend it in an effort to control every aspect of your life.
