One problem many of the best red states have experienced is the problem of blue staters moving to them because their blue states became unlivable, but then continuing to vote Democrat anyway.
That’s especially problem for the more pleasant states to live in, whether the balmy state of Florida or the beautiful state of Idaho; rich Californians and New Yorkers flee there only to vote in a way that would turn them into a spitting image of the broken down, crime-ridden, Democrat-run hellholes that they fled from.
The weather, low taxes, beautiful views, and good governance draws Americans like a magnet, with many of those drawn to Texas, Florida, and others being unfortunately leftist in outlook.
How can those running red states stop the gradual drift left that comes with blue state migration? By passing laws that would infuriate the leftists and keep them from coming in the first place, an idea this brilliant Twitter account came up with after exposing the problem of blue-staters moving to red states:
Just met a fellow at the hotel bar from New Jersey. He loves diversity. He hates Republican laws. He even loves his HOA. And he’s made his home in Florida.
Red states, you are inviting your own demise unless you start controlling your borders.
You discourage Democrat residents the same way Democrats discourage Republican residents. You pass laws they hate. They really hate it when you make owning guns easier and getting abortions harder.
Red states, you wanna pass a good law that also discourages affluent blue state liberals from moving to your state? Mandate firearms training in schools.
You get the added benefit of having a salty ass veteran range master at every school as a deterrent to school shooters.

The anonymous account, as usual, is right.
For one, blue staters moving to red states are becoming a growing problem. As the New York Times gleefully put it in 2014:
Californians have moved to Colorado and Nevada. Massachusetts natives have moved to New Hampshire. New Yorkers have moved to North Carolina and Virginia — and, of course, have continued moving to Florida.
Over the last few decades, residents of many traditionally liberal states have moved to states that were once more conservative. And this pattern has played an important role in helping the Democratic Party win the last two presidential elections and four of the last six.
Though that’s old information, it shows that the trend has held true for a long time: blue states are hellholes, so people leave them. But, all to often, they bring their idiotic Democrat allegiance with them, to the detriment of the states they move to. Just look at Georgia, a formerly ruby red state that now has two far-left senators thanks to blue staters moving in and Brian Kemp’s insouciance about voter laws.
So how can that be stopped? Laws restricting abortions, schools mandating firearms training, outright bans on CRT, a refusal to self-flagellate about slavery, voter ID laws, and all the other laws that would make Democrats react with horror at the thought of moving there.
Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama are all well-run, ruby-red states. Yet Democrats don’t move there. Why? Because they’re entrenched in their deeply conservative cultures and unwilling to change to satisfy migrants. Florida, Texas, Georgia, Idaho, and others all need to follow their lead and do the same.
