I am very indifferent about New Yorkers (except upstate NY) coming to Texas.
Now, Businesses that want to move away from the insanity in NY, We would love to have you here.
The fear is that any New Yorkers who DO come will carry the infection of liberalism with them. Even a little bit of that can spread and turn your state blue in a few years.
New Yorkers are welcome in Texas, but only if they want to become Texans ... and not turn Texas into New York.
Like the police chief of Houston once said: Yankees are like hemorrhoids: when they come down and go back up, they aren’t so bad; but when they come down and stay down, they’re a source of constant irritation.
I am fond of upstate NYers.
I think Kurt Russel had it right... wall up NYC and do not let anyone in or out.
