Iowa had such a shortage of people in the 90s, it advertised for immigrants to come live there--agricultural states need people. Iowa is older, whiter, (fatter), and the young people are earning degrees and moving to the cities.
Iowa does not share a border with Mexico. Those big bullets are meaningless--it's a misdemeanor to enter without documentation. Asylum seekers aren't flocking to NW Iowa.
