They want a well-paying job or a better community or better schools. Nobody "wants" to move to a state just because its that state. Long term political and ecological trends won't deter short term gains for many, that's all.

History is not some abstract concept that moves with as much regularity as the moon around the ocean. It takes people to change laws.
