According to data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Illinois has experienced a net loss of 1.6 million people due to out-migration since 2000. The figures highlight ongoing population challenges for the state, raising concerns about the potential impact of local policies on this trend.
Despite these statistics, there are claims from certain political circles that contradict this data. "Democrats continue to lie about these numbers so they don’t have to face the reality that their party’s policies drive people away from the state," suggests an opinion shared by some critics.
A statement from Wirepoints highlights skepticism regarding official narratives: "Pritzker Administration repeats its mother of all whoppers: ‘Illinois is not losing people’."
The discussion around Illinois' population dynamics continues, with various stakeholders offering differing perspectives on the causes and implications of these changes.
