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 : 25 signals on the latest tracked day, up 92% from its three-week baseline of 13, across 19 domains (up from 13 a week ago). That makes it the #114 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Immigration is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 13 signals a day across 19 domains (46 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 17+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 19. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
