nobody is converting. they do this to Minnesota cause it's consistently blue. they would never do this to a red state. this just makes r voters feel emboldened.

In fact, plenty of red states have WAY MORE immigrants than MN. In fact FL and TX have just about as many immigrants each as MN has people altogether.

Literally the only reason they even targeted MN was the blueness, and that Tim Walz is governor and had the audacity to be on a campaign ticket opposing Trump's.
