Sanctuary city Nashville is caught in the throes of radical transformation as a steady stream of third-world ‘migrants’ pour in while U.S. citizens cut and run from Music City, USA.
While Tennessee has developed a reputation as a booming refuge for Americans escaping insanity and insecurity in Democrat-run cities and states, citizens fleeing its capital are being quickly replaced by immigrants — both legal and illegal.
Davidson County has seen net-negative domestic migration since 2016 as nearly 42,000 Americans have departed while more than 36,000 foreign nationals have taken their place, according to research by Nashville native Davis Hunt.
Hunt, founder and editor of The Pamphleteer, has tracked demographic, cultural, and economic trends in Nashville for years and warns his hometown is going over a cliff as local officials increasingly cater to non-Americans.

“There’s this delusional idea that cities can continue to push out American citizens and replace them with immigrants,” Hunt told Border Hawk in an exclusive interview.
“Every misguided policy, initiative, decision, etc., that is based on that assumption will likely crumble in the next five to 10 years.”
Hunt says many friends and acquaintances who arrived to Nashville since 2020 have already moved out or are planning to as soon as possible.
“When I try to explain the city’s population growth being buoyed by international migration, that is a pretty effective way to communicate to people what is happening with Nashville, and a lot of things start to make sense,” Hunt said.
“As for the future of Nashville, I don’t know that I want to make that prediction on the record, to be honest — it might be too grim.”
