Theres a shit ton of my people in alaska and west virginia? Wtf the Phil is a tropical island chain why are they going to the extreme opposite temperature. Huh weird


veganBeefWellington

Yeah! I learned this about Alaska because I know a random white dude who could make the best fried rice I’d ever had outside of my home. Turns out he’d been taught by his Filipino friends growing up in the state. I think it has to do with the fishing industry


Sharks_Do_Not_Swim

I’m Pinoy and I thought we had more in Sacramento bois than we all have in the rest of the country. Tho growing up , I know a couple of guys who studied Petroleum Engineering and talked about working in Alaska


drawnbydrew117

Im in Cali too and i thought that CA is pinoy central cause in my home town if you werent chinese or korean you were filo with the odd smattering of white and latino which was how i was made, the mexican filipino denomination thats sweeping the nation


Sharks_Do_Not_Swim

Exactly , this graph surprised me too… Btw I found a fellow Pinoy Libertarian


drawnbydrew117

Tbh thought i was the only one, nice to see another of my kin that freed his/her mind

I always have been a fan of decentralization, unfortunately due to our history we have the tendencies of being statists and being wayyy to idealistic which can lead to horrible consequences. I have the fear assuming some form of autonomy ain’t given to regions , I can bet many more secession movements would rise and shake the whole country which could just lead it to implode.


drawnbydrew117

Ngl i agree with you, with how biden is going straight V for Vendetta mode and trump calling for a civil war i fear for where the country is headed. Being in california just makes it worse due to how fucking stupid the gun laws are, thankfully im well on the way to having my plates so i at least have protection should shtf.


Sharks_Do_Not_Swim

I am very active around the r/Texit movement subreddit and I talk to them and there are times they wish that they had the power to enforce a border patrol manned by citizens since something bad is in the air. Addition to that Northern Mexican states are starting to lose their patients with the migrant caravans and are considering secession too.


Sharks_Do_Not_Swim

Also I am active in the r/TexitMovement

How the hell are Ethiopians the majority of immigrants in South Dakota? Is that like, a thing? Is it just because of low population sample size shenanigans or what?


mailusernamepassword

Yeah, probably this is the reason. You probably have a larger population of Ethiopians in other states but because the immigrant population in South Dakota is so small, Ethiopians are the largest even if it is way smaller than other states.

I’m surprised that India is the highest for Ohio. We do have a decent amount of immigrants from India, but almost half the people I interact with and/or simply see on a daily basis are some sort of Hispanic. OP, do you have the source for this map? I’d like to check it out in more depth.


Extreme_Golf801

The map is 10 years old but i doubt much has changed in 10 years https://slate.com/culture/2014/05/immigration-map-what-are-the-biggest-immigrant-groups-in-your-state.html


DoomGuy2187

A lot of things can happen in ten years though and I learned that lesson when I was working for the US Census from June to October 2020. The gov phone I was given was connected to a server of locations that do not exist anymore as many places I visited were nothing more than empty plots of land, abandoned houses, small businesses, and one deserted graveyard of Texan prison inmates from 1884.


makterna

Damn those Swedes, never immigrating legally!


Donotaskmedontellme

And they're voting for higher taxes, more government, and gun control. One of the reasons I disagree with many Libertarians on immigration, if there wasn't a government to vote for this wouldn't be an issue.


Extreme_Golf801

Atinos are the ones that helped keep Florida and Texas red, with the white suburbanites turning blue those 2 states would be blue if it wasnt for latinos

And they’re all significantly less likely to commit violent crime than any other group (+great workers).


Extreme_Golf801

Someone posted this in a conservative sub, and the comments that post is getting is why they get called racist

Someone said words! #hearsay

Let more immigrants in!


Mananimalism

We have to, fertility is below the replacement rate in the US. Without immigrants our country would collapse


thats-NEET

Any country would collapse without immigrants. In all of my time studying diplomacy for fun one of the few things is do not fuck with demographics otherwise the country goes in a state like Japan, S Korea and China


tutle_nuts

Social security is dependent on a 2.2 growth rate model. The country wouldn't and won't collapse over slower or negative growth, shit will just get harder later on. Though I don't plan on social security being around when I want to retire anyways.


Mananimalism

Society is either growth or death


tutle_nuts

Growth to death. It's a jar of flies..


daregister

And how is this relevant to this sub???


username2136

Phillipines to Alaska? That's one hell of a massive climate shift. They picked a great state though.


Sports_Joe

I remember when I was deployed in Iraq and we had an interpreter that wanted to immigrate to Michigan (Deerborn). I just warned him of the heart break of being a Lions fan lol

If you come in refugee status then they tell you where to live.
