In coming years, outbound migration from the state will contribute to a decline in Michigan's population, bolstered by demographic decline.
As Michigan residents either move out or grow old, a study by the Michigan Center for Data and Analysis identifies the key to reversing the state's population problem: net-positive migration.
These funds are designed to connect migrants with government programs in hopes of making Michigan "The state of choice for many newcomer populations," according to the Midwesterner.
Though Michigan is a northern-border state, Whitmer's plan to boost the state's population by attracting immigrants runs the risk of introducing similar problems to those already experienced by southern-border states.
In his visit to Grand Rapids, Michigan, earlier this month, Trump spoke about the recent murder of Michigan resident Ruby Garcia by Brandon Ortiz-Vite, an immigrant who had been deported during Trump's presidency but had reentered the country illegally under Biden's lax border policies.
Stabilizing Michigan's population could be as simple as attracting workers and families from other states with good jobs, good schools, and lower taxes.
It's easier for Whitmer to throw taxpayer money at the problem, shore up Democratic support in the state, and then ditch Michigan for the national political scene.
