They’re fleeing to Florida, but most will vote for Leftist and thereby eventually turn Florida into what they left. These people are not refugees.........they are Locust People.

Voting with their feet is why the Berlin wall was built.

And now another oppressive regime that does not respect Capital is watching Capital leave.

Capitalism does not work without Capital.

Very cynical to call them locust people. Rush Limbaugh is in their flock. I hope you’re wrong. Its the low income immigrants that will bust the NY budget.

No. It's the onerous taxes that will bust NY.

...relief from New York's state tax on income, which starts at almost 6.5% and reaches nearly 9% for the overly successful.

C'mon, IBD...the "overly successful." I sure hope that was tongue in cheek. I'd expect to hear that from Obama, not IBD.

Yes tax and spend kills. These migration stats accelerate the process.

They eventually come around and either leave, or learn how to behave.

The heat alone takes most of the starch out of them.
One or two hurricanes takes the rest out of all but the most stubbornly stupid.
They do have their little enclaves, but dare not travel far from them.

And our Florida nutjobs are generally more sociable and tolerated than NY nutjobs, bless their hearts.
The rednecks keep them under controll, while the churches keep them fed and clothed.

(Except in the enclaves)

Next to DC, NYC is the biggest cancer on the American Republic.

I live in NYC and wish I left ears ago. Unless you make millions a year life is very hard here.

No problem. Mayor Bloomberg will announce that moving is prohibited.

I was born and raised in the Tri-Lakes area of the Adirondacks. It is, with the possible exception of Alaska, the most beautiful place on God’s earth.

Er...was.

The liberals and their enviro/taxation policies turned it into Detroit with trees, employment-wise. And the Sierra Club types are quickly making Agenda 21 the law of the Blue Line. I miss it dearly from here in AZ, but I’d not even go back to visit. It was bad when I left in 95. I hear it’s far worse today.

Read up on ‘Whitney Park” to see what Sierra did to a once thriving timber harvesting area. Guess who got the ‘Castle’ for private use?

“New York has plenty of immigration from abroad; its more than 4 million foreign-born residents give it the second-biggest immigrant population in America.”

Wonder what sort of contribution they’re making to the tax base...

They’re all migrating to low-tax conservative states where they will vote to raise taxes and fund more government.

New Hampshire is suffering from just that problem.
