 d.

Iowa gained 23,074 people from 2023 to 2024, boosted primarily by growth in international migration to the state, according to new U.S. Census data.

Similar to neighboring Midwest states including Illinois and Nebraska, people from other countries moved to Iowa at higher rates than those who came from other places in the United States.

From July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024, a net of 19,439 people migrated to Iowa from outside the United States — accounting for most of its growth in that period — while a net of 231 people departed Iowa 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

It seems the adjective "illegal" was forgotten in the headline. :nono:
