Some Migrants Are Progressve

 A couple of posts ago, I had one with two charts showing population migrating from so-called “sanctuary” states to states where illegal immigrants are not welcome. There is an interesting side effect you might not have noticed.

While most internal migrants are conservatives moving from blue states to red, there are also a few progressives leaving blue states. Hence the modest growth experienced by true-blue Vermont and Colorado. 

My conservative relatives in rural western CO hate that their state has become a destination for progressives fleeing the mess their policy preferences created back home on the coast.
