Who are you referencing here? Illinois is the only one I remember, and their solution isn't to close the border, it's to speed up processing and stop a giant state from intentionally overstressing a smaller state. California is on the border and handling things just fine, but when suddenly all of Texas's immigrants get redirected to a state that doesn't have the infrastructure in place to handle them, it's a problem.

    New York, Colorado, Massachusetts, etc etc. Lots of stories from AP and Reuters in Google News if you start searching for teams like “migrants” and “federal.”

    Massachusetts is another one that wants the federal government to fast track work authorizations and the like, and again, stop the targeted use of migrant busses to overload a small state's infrastructure. For New York it seems like it's mostly NYC and Adams is kind of a DINO.

    There's a lot of subtext smuggled into the original statement regarding blue state opinions on migration, and the concerns are entirely different from red state xenophobia.
