More tax dollars for states that properly support the rights of their citizens, what could be more American than that? When you ignorantly outlaw the products of a business in your state you deserve to lose them to a wiser state.

The states that are losing these businesses knew full well what they were doing and found it an acceptable price.

While I doubt that it is an indication of 'civil war', it is interesting.

I am sure that the cheap Mexican labor to be had here in Texas has nothing to do with the moves.

A lot of people can't simply pick up and leave a state due to a new law(s) as fast as a company flush with cash can but you can bet you'll start to see anti-rights states losing people due to these new laws. Couple that with the fact that none of these laws will stop gun violence and people will want to go somewhere where they're allowed to legally defend their home.

If the Feds did a better job of enforcing illegals from crossing the border and go after anyone who hires them maybe there would not be "Cheap Mexican Labor".

If they did this maybe the AA unemployment rate might not be so high and they could get jobs at these factories.

The pain of losing those contributors to their tax base was adequately made up for by the gain of votes to the politicians who cause it to happen, given by ignorant voters who thought the politicians were doing something that would work.

By the time the voters find out it didn't work (and never could have), the votes will have already been cast.

Cheap labor doesn't mean much when you only have 10 employees and you offer to have them move with you to your new location.

A company can't hire an $8 an hour illegal to machine AR15 parts.
