“Alabama, which also could lose a congressional seat depending on the final census count, does have a budding immigrant population, some without legal status, that’s helping to boost the state’s population—though it’s growing more slowly than the country as a whole, said Nyesha Black, a demographer at the University of Alabama’s Center for Economic and Business research. “One of the reasons our school-age population hasn’t dropped, which would create more issues, is the growth in Hispanic students,” Black said. “The reality is that it isn’t just California that’s an immigrant-receiving state. It’s Alabama as well.”
…so, Alabama would have a population decline and House loss — those darned over-taxing socialists again! - but for those dependable immigrants! Sure, that really supports your narrative, but you keep doing you…it’s cute.
As someone who lives and is from “flyover” country… trust me…. We are rooting for California. I’d love nothing better that to see our property values go back to normal and the West Coast flight reverse course.
