You could just as well convince a few guys from California to move to low population red states, they're eligible to vote, too.

Maybe there should be plans to "take over" some towns / neighborhoods and have a liberal community there to eventually take US senate seats. But you need local businesses to offer jobs in order to do that, or lots of money for handouts.

Most will go to Florida which will be very beneficial. phleshdef Nov 2017 #4

Yes! Florida, NY, NJ, and few other states. Let's register them in time for 2018 elections! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #5

We need to support their relocation to Florida! Tatiana Nov 2017 #6

why would NY be more attactive? DrDan Nov 2017 #7

I think FL & NY are equally attractive for relocating PRans since they have family/friends there in Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #9

I was just curious about the statement - "even though NY is probably most attractive" DrDan Nov 2017 #10

Because everyone on the island has a family member that lives in NY. Tatiana Nov 2017 #11

thanks. I am from FL with a daughter-in-law from PR living in FL, as is all her extended family DrDan Nov 2017 #12

They probably are moving to where they got family/connections. So mostly the States above. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #8
