Texas is top refugee resettlement state in the
nation since 2008 (blue state here we come?) by Ann Corcoran, 10/18/18.
I’m working on a post on Kentucky which sent me back to
the Refugee Processing
Center for
some numbers.
So, I saw this data and figured it would be a useful bit of
information for you especially as there is much talk these days as a result of
the US Senate race there about Texas turning blue.
Of course, refugee numbers alone aren’t going to be the deciding
factor, but as refugees come in (along with all of the other migrants coming in
to Texas) they help to change the political landscape by eroding the
long-standing cultural cohesiveness and character of the state.
So here is a map from Wrapsnet. I
know the numbers are hard to read but below you will find the numbers for the
top ten resettlement states in the US from the beginning of Obama’s term in
office up to today.
Total refugee admissions to the US from the fall of 2008 to the
present day are 634,460:
Here are the top ten states with Texas at 64,198 refugees since
October of 2008:
Texas 64168
California 62709
New York 37562
Michigan 32006
Arizona 28612
Florida 28477
Georgia 25699
Washington 25197
Pennsylvania 24890
Ohio 24588
For future reference this post is filed in my ‘Refugee statistics’ category and ‘Where to find information.’
