Immigration
The movement of people into a country to settle; a persistent flashpoint in U.S. and European politics.
Coverage of Immigration is holding steady : 7 signals on the latest tracked day, down 30% from its three-week baseline of 10, across 7 domains (down from 9 a week ago). That makes it the #144 most-covered of the 289 concerns we track.
Immigration is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 10 signals a day across 7 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 13+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 7. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
6 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
