Death Spiral: Massachusetts Plan to Replace Taxpayers with Migrants Collapses

The deep blue state of Massachusetts is facing financial collapse: politicians raise taxes on remaining citizens as taxpayers flee the state on top of the cratering of the inflow of poor migrants.


The collapse of the Democrats’ plan to replace taxpayers with migrants is causing a perfect storm to the state.


The state has witnessed a falling number of migrants moving in thanks to President Trump’s efforts to close the southern border. According to the Wall Street Journal, Boston, for instance, was experiencing wide growth in population from 2023 to 2024 during Biden’s open-door immigration policies. But from 2024 to 2025, that growth collapsed by more than half.

The Journal added that the “driver” for this population shrinkage, especially in blue states, is a “sharp slowdown in immigration, coupled in many places with losses from people leaving for other parts of the country.”


According to StorageCafe, Massachusetts now ranks 47th in population gain with a net loss of 30,474 citizens, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau.



But even as the Bay State’s tax base is fleeing and migrants aren’t streaming in to replace them, the state legislature has nonetheless imposed a millionaire tax on residents, and this has caused the outgoing of citizens to skyrocket.

So push out wealthy taxpayers for illegal immigrants on welfare to expand the tax base, was that the plan?

I know, liberals aren't good at math.

They aren't very adept at logic or economics, either.
