Both. And, yes, I am being just a little facetious.

There are two main ways to get to Alaska from CONUS. You can fly or you can take the Alaska Highway through Canada. You need real ID to get on an airliner. You need real ID to get through the Canadian border and non-US citizens who say they are traveling to Alaska might get major scrutiny. You need real ID again to cross over into Alaska and non-Canadian non-US citizens might have some trouble there too.

Alaska is therefore spared from the main effects of the illegal alien invasion.

As for the rest, really long days in the summer and not much sunshime in the winter drives some to seek an alternative reality.
