Two bright, young reporters from London visited us recently to prepare this podcast on a subject we’ve been covering closely: interstate political migration – Americans moving to states that better fit their political views. After several days in Florida interviewing folks there and in Illinois, the BBC sat down with Wirepoints to complete their report. Wirepoints added some important perspective on the impact political migration has on Illinois. While some Americans may move to Illinois for its progressive policies, far more end up leaving every year due to Illinois’ poor economic competitiveness. There are indeed people moving both ways in America’s political rearrangement, which is certain to have enormous consequences for the nation.
