The population of Providence, R.I., has barely held even since 2020. Had it not been for some 8,300 immigrants who settled in Providence County, it would have shrunk by 1.3 percent by last year. Same in South Bend, Ind., where some 1,700 immigrants into Saint Joseph County barely filled a gap left by locals ditching town.
Immigrants slowed demographic decline in more than 1,100 counties from 2020 to 2023, according to census estimates. Their numbers made up more than the entire growth of the population in 131 of them. The demographic reality casts immigration in a different light, not as a burden but as an opportunity: a powerful tool to lift vast swaths of America that prosperity has left behind.
It would require smart policy and political will — neither of which is plentiful in Washington, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) idea of busing migrants to cause political pain in blue jurisdictions could, unwittingly, be put to valuable use: encouraging migrants to rekindle economic development in depopulating cities such as Buffalo, Akron or Detroit, which have struggled to keep up with the economic transformations of the past 30 years.

It’s a scam. Liberals think they can impose costs upon the population, for the socialist benefits for the liberal, that makes it impossible to afford children but they can keep the scam going through mass immigration of third worlders.
The consequence of liberalism is the elimination of the native population and replacement by foreigner.
Works for me.
About 25,000 should move there immediately for free stuff.
Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis…
“Quality of immigrants matters.”
LEGALITY of immigrants matters.
Immigrants are “saving” Columbia and MIT right now.
I am a great proponent of immigration. I am 100% against open borders as this will be our demise as a nation.
Send me your engineers, your doctors, tradesmen, electricians, geologists, chemists, nurses etc. I have this proviso on immigrants, they must be from a culture that shares our values and they must want to assimilate into our culture.
Do not send me your lawyers!
What he means to say is “Let all the illegals in, let them all vote Democrat”
Today’s immigrants couldn’t save the Countries they came from.
Coming here and sucking up socialist welfare benefits is going to help us how?
Well said.
So they are admitting that trespassers are being used to replace white citizens who fled Democratic control.
Pissing on your leg and tell you its raining.
The things 81.000.000 votes can get you if that doesn’t dissolve the democrat party nothing will.
If not grip ankles harder because more sand will be in the KY jelly.
Let immigrants save the heartland.

The descendants of immigrants are already in the heartland. Why replace them? Does The Post think there will be any more incentives for immigrants to move (and stay) there than for those US citizens already present?
This incredibly callous behavior that they have towards their own countrymen has caused me (in recent years) to become indifferent to what happens to Leftists in major cosmopolitan areas. Washington got nuked? Meh...no big loss.
Brain Damaged Leftist Media logic: Let INVADERS save the heartland.
Add Portland, Seattle, Denver, Austin and Houston to your list.
These leftists tell us the earth must reduce population to save the earth. The same leftists tell us we must repopulate cities that are dying due to leftist policies.
If not for hypocrisy and lies, leftists would have no positions unless discussing perversion.
1. They’re calling Liberal Providence Rhode Island “the heartland”. Totally out of touch.
2. What they really want and mean is not that “immigration” should “save” the heartland, but that it shoudl destroy the pro-American culture in the heartland.
But the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory.
And all of this from the people who screeched for years that Overpopulation was destroying the Erf.
We know now that it was Overpopulation of White people they were upset about. Africa, Asia, South America...AOK to have as many bambinos as they want and then flood into the US like locusts.
Let them keep helping the blue states...they wanted this crap and voted for it.
If ya ain’t gonna round em up and send them back to Mehico, keep them yourselves.
[And yeah...I know they aren’t all Mexican; the the vast majority came in thru there...give ‘em back...let THEM handle the immigrants and see how they enjoy the rich pageant of diversity they bring them.]
