Maybe this “squatting” problem is real, and maybe it is just the latest “tempest in a teacup.”. We have certainly seen some nasty anecdotal cases recently, but I’ve not seen any data (one way or the other) to indicate whether that the phenomenon is a greater problem than it was a decade ago.

With the massive increase in illegals as well as homelessness (which is heavily driven by addiction), I see it as far more likely that this is increasing than not.

That said, I also see the legislation as being similar to the amendment La voters passed at the end of 2022 barring non-citizens from voting. At the time there were many who lambasted the legislation as nothing more than fear-mongering. Today, not even a year and a half later, we see other states and municipalities pushing to allow illegals to vote. It's a rare instance of legislation being ahead of the curve.
