A quick reality check . . .

NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO LIVE IN BARREN PARTS OF KANSAS OTHER THAN ILLEGAL FARM WORKERS!!!

 That's not really a progressive talking point . . . Because their work is back breaking, it's not the American dream and they function kinda like indentured servants. 

But the reality is that without any hope for an influx of any population other than the dreaded illegal migrants . . . There are many spots in Kansas that risk negative economic growth given their dearth of population.

Heck, even Topeka is handing out cash prizes to new residents.
