Massachusetts immigration

Massachusetts has added more immigrants per capita than any other state other than Florida over the last four years.
 
Massachusetts has added more than 255,000 immigrants since 2020, according to newly released Census data, the latest indication of the state’s reliance on foreign newcomers as the country prepares for a second Trump administration’s increased hostility to immigration.


That amount dwarfs the 18,000 people added through births compared to deaths, and more than makes up for the 163,000 residents lost who moved to other states.

The data provides some key takeaways.

Among states, only Florida added immigrants as a bigger share of its population. Florida also gains a lot of U.S. residents who move from other states, while Massachusetts has typically relied on immigrants to make up for those moving to other states.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Start a list of states, along with Oregon, who are happy to take in murderers, rapists, and jihadis who would be deported except their own countries don't even want them. :amen:
