That’s based on the false assumption that a State is purposed with acting in the interests of its current citizens. It’s an observable fact that western States at least prioritize acting in the interests of “the economy” which is a term I won’t attempt to unpack beyond pointing out that the old question “who benefits” is germane as always.
