The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide options or text references, we can say that states that have most likely been net in-migration states versus net out-migration states in the last two decades are the following.

In-migration states, Texas, California, and Florida.

Out-migration states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan.

California and Texas are border states to Mexico. Most of the immigration in both states used to come from people from Mexico but not anymore. Mexican immigration has reduced to a minimum in recent years. Today, most immigrants that try to cross the US border are from Central American countries such as Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

In the case of Florida, its proximity to the island of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico make it the perfect state for Caribbean immigration.

On the other hand, far away places such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Michigan are out-migration states due to the distance to the southern border and the strict anti-immigrant policies.
