WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT: People Fleeing Collapsing Economies of Blue States Advise Those Who Remain: ‘Start Making Better Decisions on Who You Vote For.’

HOW’S THAT “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT COMING ALONG? “Newcomers moving to Texas will also receive a pamphlet outlining the history and policies that make Texas what it is, thus putting the ‘welcome wagon’ project that myself, Glenn Reynolds, and others have sought to establish into state law.”

But this is only the beginning.

HOW’S THAT WELCOME WAGON PROGRAM COMING ALONG? Taxpayers Fleeing California Take $8.8 Billion In Gross Income to Other States.

WELCOME WAGON PROJECT UPDATE: I’ve been working with a nonprofit that’s very interested in educating recent arrivals from blue states to states with smaller government and freer markets. Looks like things are going ahead. I’ll have more to report soon.

HOW’S THAT WELCOME WAGON PROGRAM FOR FORMER RESIDENTS OF BLUE STATES COMING ALONG? Louisiana alligator shows up on South Texas beach.

THE “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT ISN’T JUST ABOUT MONEY: REASONS PEOPLE ARE MOVING FROM LOS ANGELES TO DALLAS — MORE IMPORTANT THAN ESCAPING HIGHER TAXES.

GOTTA FIGURE OUT A WAY TO WORK THIS INTO MY “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT: ‘Douche’ father-of-seven sales exec who moved his family from California to Texas then BACK again is blasted for complaining about Austin’s ‘rude locals, bland culture, oppressive heat and Yelp’s bad food choices’ in scathing Op-Ed. “Alder described Texas with its lower income taxes as a ‘conservative dystopia’ and said he felt cramped – even though his house was twice the size.”

I’M WORKING ON THE “WELCOME WAGON” PROJECT AS FAST AS I CAN: The states Americans headed to the most in 2020, according to U-Haul. “In 2020, Tennessee claimed the top spot for the most one-way U-Haul arrivals versus departures for the first time ever. . . . California ranks last on 2020′s list, behind Illinois and New Jersey, as the states with the least one-way arrivals. California has been in the bottom three states since 2016 and Illinois has been in the bottom two since 2015, when U-Haul began ranking states.”

GOOD TO SEE THEM MOVING TO TEXAS, BUT I DON’T THINK THESE GUYS NEED GLENN’S RED STATE WELCOME WAGON PACKAGE: National Rifle Association Files for Bankruptcy, Plans to Leave New York for Texas.

IT’S REALLY TIME TO IMPLEMENT MY WELCOME WAGON PROJECT: Fleet of moving trucks mark exodus from Manhattan’s troubled Upper West Side.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GET GOING ON MY WELCOME WAGON PROJECT.

SHOCKER: Migration to Low‐​Tax States Continues.

Another reason for my Welcome Wagon proposal, to educate these migrants not to vote for the policies they’re fleeing.

ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR MY WELCOME WAGON STRATEGY of targeting new arrivals with explanations of why they shouldn’t vote for the policies that ruined the places they left. Millennials Are Fleeing Cities For Refuge From Democrats’ Disasters.

SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO FUND MY WELCOME WAGON IDEA: As people flock to North Carolina, here’s where our new neighbors are coming from.

As Kate of Canada’s Small Dead Animals blog titles her recurring posts on California craziness, “O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas, Hear My Prayer.”

GOP DONORS REALLY NEED TO START FUNDING GLENN’S “WELCOME WAGON” IDEA:

● Chaser: People are fleeing Silicon Valley for Nevada, Texas and Idaho, report finds.

—The San Jose Mercury, May 31, 2018.

GOP DONORS REALLY NEED TO START FUNDING GLENN’S “WELCOME WAGON” IDEA: Silicon Valley tsunami? Tax plans aimed at Apple, Google could start a new wave, city leaders say.

REALLY, GOP DONORS, YOU NEED TO START FUNDING MY “WELCOME WAGON” IDEA: 800,000 people are about to flee New York and California because of taxes, say economists.

I don’t want any money, but I have some suggestions for a not-too-expensive program that could make a real difference. Get in touch.

THIS IS SORT OF LIKE MY “WELCOME WAGON” IDEA: Displaced Puerto Ricans have come to Florida by the thousands—and one group is working to turn them into conservative voters.

Thousands upon thousands of Puerto Ricans have landed in Florida in the months since Hurricane Maria battered their island. They have simple priorities, but complicated needs.

They need a place to live and a way to make a living. They want to get their kids enrolled in local schools and find out if they have to take a test to do so. Maybe they were a real estate agent in Puerto Rico and wanted to know if their license transferred over; or a medical professional with great job prospects at local hospitals if they could just improve their English; or a bilingual teacher who needed help navigating the application process.

Over the last several months many of these transplants learned about a program called “Welcome to Florida.” They may have heard about it at church, or on Spanish-language radio, or from a friend. Whatever the case, “Welcome to Florida” was offering free English classes and help with many of the logistics of establishing a new life on the mainland.

You might expect that this outreach was being underwritten by a progressive group, but you would be wrong. “Welcome to Florida” is a project from the Koch-funded LIBRE Institute. . . .

It’s a smart move, politically. Thousands of Puerto Ricans settling in Florida represents a rare opportunity to mint new voters in America’s quintessential swing state. And it’s one of the rare cases where conservatives are being proactive about bringing new voters into their tent.

Smart indeed.
