More on the Globalization of American Politics

Val Dorta has another take on this issue. Worth reading.

WRT Val’s observations about foreigners who move here, become citizens, and then repeat the irresponsible voting behavior that wrecked their countries of origin and got them to emigrate in the first place, similar patterns are evident within the United States. For example, Californians fled burdensome taxes and regulations and moved to Arizona, where they proceeded to vote like Californians and drive up their new state’s spending and taxes. And refugees from New York and the socialist Northeast have helped to transform Florida from a conservative stronghold into a state that’s almost evenly divided between red and blue political cultures.
