NJ is the most densely populated state with high taxes and the baby boomers are now in their retirement years are migrating down to Florida and the Carolina's. It's funny they are the generation that created this liberal mess and are fleeing from here and slowly changing the politics of the more conservative states down south.

And the folks migrating citing high taxation and over regulation will vote RATs in there new adopted State. They just cant help themselves, nor smart enough to see the correlation.

[Dr. Sivana]

Think what the migration would be like if people could afford to sell thekir underwater homes.

I have taken it halfway. I still live in IL, but take the long commute to WI every day.

Having left IL for TX in October, I can claim to be “a statistic”!

Woot!

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Will the immigrants keep the same voting tendencies? Unfortunately, I think that they will and do.

[Windflier]

"The 2011 report released Wednesday to The Associated Press shows that the District of Columbia led the nation in percentage of inbound migration for the fourth straight year."

No surprise there. FedGov Inc. is the biggest, fastest growing enterprise in the country.

What ? I thought everything was going to turn around in New Jersey !

Watch for outward migration from WI skyrocket if Walker and those four GOP state senators are successfully recalled. The loud and clear message will be: “Economic freedom has no future here. We love Government and Union... all else is unwelcome.”

Southern whites have higher birth rates and can absorb the people moving south. Not all of the people moving south are liberals, by the way. The majority are actually conservative.
