Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article citing the statistics of where Americans<\/a> are relocating. The article leaves me wondering if liberalism is so wonderful, why are Americans leaving the most liberal states:<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Three Democratic-leaning states hemorrhaged hundreds of thousands of people in 2016 and 2017 as crime, high taxes and, in some cases, crummy weather had residents seeking greener pastures elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exodus of residents was most pronounced in New York<\/a>, which saw about 190,000 people leave the state between July 1, 2016 and\u00a0July 1, 2017, according to U.S. Census Bureau<\/a> data<\/a> released last week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Despite the massive domestic out-migration flow, New York\u2019s net population grew slightly, largely due to high levels of international immigration and a so-called \u201cnatural increase\u201d \u2014 the difference between births and deaths in a given year. New York\u2019s net migration<\/a> was about minus 60,000 residents, but the state had 73,000 more births than deaths, resulting in a net population growth of about 13,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Illinois was not so fortunate. Long-beset by twin budget and pension crises and the erosion of its tax base, Illinois lost so many residents that it dropped from the fifth to the sixth-most populous state in 2017, losing its previous spot to Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Just under 115,000 Illinois residents decamped for other states between July 2016 and July 2017. Since 2010, the Land of Lincoln<\/a> has lost about 650,000 residents to other states on net, equal to the combined population of the state\u2019s four largest cities other than Chicago, according to<\/a> the Illinois Policy Institute<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…California<\/a> was the third deep blue state<\/a> to experience significant domestic out-migration between July 2016 and July 2017, and it couldn\u2019t blame the outflow on retirees searching for a more agreeable climate. About 138,000 residents left the state during that time period, second only to New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, because California was the top receiving state for international migrants, its net migration was actually 27,000. Add to that number a \u201cnatural increase\u201d of 214,000 people, and California\u2019s population grew by about just over 240,000, according to the Census Bureau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The increased migration from other countries into California is a partial explanation of the fact that in recent decades California has gone from a reliably red state to a totally blue state.<\/p>\n

All three of these states have high state taxes. Those taxes will no longer be fully deductible under the new tax laws. It will be interesting to see how the new tax laws impact future migration from these states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
