If you want people to stop trying to come here, then you need to make this an unattractive destination point. And at that point, why would YOU want to live here?
Also you could say the same thing about Florida. Imagine all the people who were born and raised in Florida, saying the exact same thing about the "immigrants" from other parts of this country? Imagine - all the people who were born and raised in Sumter County, saying the exact same thing about the Villages and all of us who have MIGRATED to Florida in our retirement.
Be grateful they didn't build a wall to keep you out.

Good, I thought my hypothesis would touch a nerve. Immigration was good up till about 1980 when it became excessive in MY opinion. And you did NOT Address my comment about either quality of life or an OPTIMUM population. Suppose you have 2 dogs in your house. Life is good. Then you get to 5 dogs, and you husband feels that he is spending too much time feeding and going to the Vet. for them. Then, you get to 10 dogs and the neighbors start complaining and you have to defend against a lawsuit and your neighbors no longer talk to you. Life has less quality of life. Then you get 20 dogs and rocks are thrown through your windows. Then you are away and the house is burned down. Now, life is terrible for YOU. I know you see my point. It just sounds anti-progressive. I get that!
