Well, I've dug a little deeper and put together the following stats for 2022 and there doesn't seem to be any connection between whooping cough and illegal migrant populations by state.
2022 States with the highest and lowest reported cases of Pertussis
STATES Incidence No. of Cases
(per 100,000)
COLORADO 4.34 252
NEW YORK 1.75 199
TEXAS 0.55 162
NEVADA 4.61 145
OHIO 1.23 145
UTAH 3.27 109
ARIZONA 1.43 104
R ISLAND 0.00 0
OKLAHOMA 0.00 0
NEW JERSEY 0.00 0
DELAWARE 0.10 1
MISSISSIPPI 0.03 1
S DAKOTA 0.11 1
N HAMP 0.14 2
Unauthorized Immigrant Population Estimates by Top 10 States of Residence: 2022
State Population
Total 10,990,000
California 2,600,000
Texas 2,060,000
Florida 590,000
N Jersey 490,000
Illinois 420,000
New York 410,000
N Carolina 360,000
From these stats we can see that only New York and Texas seem to correlate illegal immigration with cases of whooping cough in 2022. Then we have New Jersey with zero reported cases of pertussis is fourth in immigration. I'd say that if any two states should be suffering from diseases spread by immigration, it is California and New York, those should be the bellwether states.
