Then I don't believe you.
How many migrants would you need to fly to "shift the voting color"? How many have been flown?
Not sure how many have been flown. Can't find any reliable numbers. There's lots of illegal immigrants in Florida, as there is in California, Arizona and Texas. Where I could see the dem's move of flying migrants to red states, or keeping them in place in Arizona and Texas, is if they were eventually going to try to give them voting rights (something California politicians have advocated for here at least). Regardless of the numbers, it was a brilliant political move by the dems, as this is by the Republicans right now.
The thing I find amusing by this, is the outrage of the left over a very, very, very small influx of immigrants into their cities/states.
If you look at these numbers:

You'll realize how small these numbers being flown out of Texas/Florida are compared to the daily/monthly/yearly encounters by border states. Where was all the concern by the Dems as the border states and cities are being intudated (spelling...I know). Of course, the answer is' "out of sight - out of mind". But all the political theatrics by both sides over the years is interesting to say the least.
There's a lot of dynamics into illegal immigration through the southern border. Most of it is not good for a variety of reasons; mainly human trafficking, drug trafficking, the financial impact, etc. There's also some HUGE POSITIVES in the name of cheap labor. However, I don't think that illegal immigration as a whole is something either side really want to fix. The cheap labor benefits everyone, and both sides need it as a campaign issue to champion/pound the other side on.
Where I used to work in South Central Los Angeles, I watched the demographics change significantly over the last 15 years, effectively forcing the Blacks out of trades they once had a stronghold of in the area (drywall, electrical, plumbing, etc.). Not to mention, sex trafficking in the area is through the roof. But my lens is unique, in that its an area I've been in for a long time, and I know its but a small snapshot of immigration, and a mostly negative lens to look through.
Buuuuuuuuuut....
I've been going down to Mexico for almost 2 decades now. Surfing, Motorcycles and dog rescue stuff. I still go down to Baja a couple times a month; and the border on the Mexico side is worse than I have ever seen it. Granted it has never been great, but Mexico is definitely feeling the strain of all the Central Americans that pass through on their way to the United States. There's even sizable rifts between the various neighborhoods in Los Angeles between the Mexicans and the Central Americans.

Off to bed, racing dirt bikes tomorrow and I gotta be up in a few hours. Later dudes 👍🏼
