> Net migration out of California surpassed that of the next highest state, New York, by about 143,000 people. Nearby states such as Utah have warned Californians who might consider moving to stay out. A similar story is playing out in Nevada, where California migrants are seeking to re-create their lifestyle.

Oregon is getting hit pretty bad with Californian immigrants. Prices in places like Bend are nuts now. Too bad there’s no way for states to control immigration from other states.



See the first word in the name of the country.


Question to linguistic pedants out there; would that be "the"?


That would be the article, not the name.


To linguistic pedants out there: would that also mean that "united" is not a name?


Yes, united in "the united states" is an adjective. States is a plural name.


anyway, my reply was to "See the first word in the name of the country."

The first word in the name of the country is "the" and the first name in the name of the country is "states". Right?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States


yeah, it's not clear to me whether the proper way to call the United States is the United States or United states.


before the Civil War it was often "these United States"


Do you mean noun?


See the second word.


> Too bad there’s no way for states to control immigration from other states.

Yeah, not really. But you can always hitchhike over to the state they left and shit on the sidewalk, and then rob a Walgreens with no repercussions whatsoever.


Anti-immigration but make it woke


Build a wall?


the amount of cognitive dissonance in the end of this comment is too damn high
