MAP: Where feds are trying to relocate illegal border surgers
MAP: Where feds are trying to relocate illegal border surgers

Since the border surge gained coverage from the mainstream media last month, the Obama Administration has tried to relocate tens of thousands of newly-arrived illegal aliens to communities across the country.
Sign the petition asking your three Members of Congress to fight the relocation!
Click on the symbols on the map for name of each location and what is happening there. Below the map is the KEY for the symbols.
As with all maps, you can zoom in and out, and click and drag the map for a different view. (For a larger version of this map click here. You can see a full list of all the communities in the left column.)
NumbersUSA is daily updating this interactive map to show which communities are under threat of the federal government moving large numbers of illegal aliens there from the border.
NumbersUSA is providing its members actions they can take to help stop the government's dispersal of illegal aliens in a way that usually means they never go back home. Because people living in communities across the Americas rarely see one of their neighbors ever returned after illegally entering the United States, most of the population in those countries believe crossing the border illegally will bring great rewards.
Become more actively involved by clicking here to send messages to your three Members of Congress to block relocations in your state.
If you have any information about additional communities being targets for relocation -- or if you can correct or add to the information we already have on communities - please email it to Melanie Oubre at: moubre@numbersusa.com

Please keep these key points in mind as you continue to comment, tweet, post, share, and discuss the surge of illegal immigration on the southern border:
(1) The Obama Administration already has the tools it needs to reverse the surge.
(2) Legislative solutions (even well-meaning ones) are not necessary and could (if they originate in the House) become a trojan horse for the Senate amnesty bill.
(3) The surge of illegal immigration at the border would not be happening if illegal aliens weren't confident that they would be allowed to stay. Yet, few have been required to leave.
What about the 2008 Anti-Trafficking Law?
The 2008 Trafficking Law (sometimes called the "Wilberforce Act") has become a source of great debate in Washington. If you haven't followed the debate closely, keep this in mind:"It is important to remember that trafficking laws are not responsible for the current illegal immigration surge and any changes that might be made will likely have little impact. Amending them should not become a distraction from addressing the bigger problem of lax enforcement of existing immigration laws, which continue to encourage people to come to the United States illegally."- Jon Feere, Center for Immigration Studies

The Cueller/Cornyn "HUMANE Act" weakens existing law, according to analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies.
"Obama may be misreading 2008 deportation law, report shows" by Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times. The Administration has acknowledged that the current law gives them flexibility to send the Surgers home.
"Children trying to sneak into the U.S. aren't always alone" by Joshua Partlow of the Washington Post. The 2008 law only applies to "unaccompanied children."

Thank you for all that you do.

Obama Already Has Tools to End Border Crisis
Conn Carroll | Jul 18, 2014
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat has written a generous and fair response to the suggestion made yesterday that Republicans should not pass a border crisis response bill this month. Douthat writes:
I share Carroll’s frustration with the president’s conduct of immigration policy, but I don’t think the logic here quite makes sense. Republicans would be responding to a presidential power grab in one area by essentially demanding that he expand that power grab even further, and washing their own hands of a crisis situation while they wait to see if he’ll act without them. Wouldn’t that kind of stand-down legitimize presidential overreach muchmore than passing the actual bill that Republicans believe is legally and constitutionally required?In short, no. DACA is an unprecedented expansion of executive power while suspension of the 2008 Trafficking Act is justified by the statute itself.
Obama's DACA program has no basis in federal statute. All presidents can exercise prosecutorial discretion to grant administrative relief from deportation on a case-by-case basis. But DACA transformed that case-by-case discretion into a broad based generally applicable program whose outlines were specifically rejected by Congress.
By contrast, the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Act explicitly contains an "exceptional circumstances" clause allowing a president to suspend the requirement that unaccompanied minors must be turned over to HHS.
In other words, Obama already has the authority to suspend the 2008 Trafficking Act, he just doesn't have the political will to do it.
But there is a larger point Douthat only mentions in passing: this border is taking place in the middle of a much larger battle over Obama's abuse of executive power.
From his drive-by war on Libya, to the NSA, to the Obamacare employer mandate delays, to the unlawful spending on Obamacare exchanges, to the impending Obamacare risk corridor bailout, to Obama's rewrite of federal education law, to his illegal NLRB appointments, to his illegal net neutrality regulations, Obama has repeatedly thumbed his nose at Congress and dared them to hold him accountable for his lawless actions.
"So sue me," Obama has taunted.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has since moved to do exactly that, but Boehner's suit is based on a novel theory of legal standing that might be rejected by courts.
And if a court does throw out the Boehner lawsuit, that court will say disputes between Congress and the Executive Branch are meant to be settled politically. If Boehner doesn't think Obama is enforcing the law, then he must use what limited power he does have as Speaker, to make him.
And one power Boehner does have is to just say 'no'. Just say 'no' to everything Obama wants until Obama starts executing the law faithfully.
Doing nothing absolutely is politically risky. But pretending Obama will faithfully execute whatever Congress does pass will arguably only enable Obama's lawlessness more.
