Friends,
The map below has quickly become a galvanizing image of the assault the federal government is making on local communities as it moves tens of thousands of illegal aliens into them soon after they cross our borders without permission.
(A
U.S. Senate office sent a mass email about the map almost as soon as we
posted it. That seems to have triggered the Drudge Report earlier today
posting a link to the map. So many people clicked that they
temporarily brought our website to its knees. But our tech department
got everything fully functioning to handle the traffic in about an
hour.)
At the bottom of this email, you can quickly catch up with some of the most important news about community efforts to resist these federal relocations
and about various political proposals for alternative handling of the
current storming of our southwest border by Central Americans.
Our
Melanie Oubre is notifying our members as soon as we get information
about federal efforts in their community. We are pleased that so many
NumbersUSA members have been involved in the resistance thus far.

WHY 'HUMANITARIAN' RELOCATIONS ARE THREAT TO HUMANITY
Many
of your friends and neighbors -- perhaps even you -- have a tendency to
have sympathy for the open-borders advocates' argument that it is a
humanitarian obligation to move the minors arriving at our border to
shelters around the United States.
In fact, this
mass 'humanitarian' transportation of illegal aliens from our borders
into our interior threatens to create far more danger, abuse, rape,
illness and even death for Central American teens.
Why?
Because
all of those terrible things are happening to the young Central
Americans as they make the arduous journey to our border and because the
only reason they are doing it is because they believe they have a
chance of remaining in this country.
Every
story about a busload of illegal aliens arriving in a U.S. community
will spur at least five more busloads of minors to risk their dignity,
health and lives to leave Central America.
Keep
in mind that very few minors were making this journey until the Obama
Administration went around Congress and gave work permits
to hundreds of thousands of younger illegal aliens two years ago. The
number storming our border has increased rapidly as the news media have
trumpeted around the world that if Congress doesn't pass an even-larger
amnesty the Administration will grant the amnesty on its own.
THAT is why this mass movement to our border is happening.
Pres.
Obama and other Administration officials have repeatedly said in the
last two weeks that Central Americans must know that they will not be
allowed to stay if they show up at the border. That they will
eventually be required to go home.
In other words, the Obama Administration agrees with me that the only way to stop the surge is for Central American communities to see all their neighbors returning from the U.S.
The problem is that the Administration is NOT sending the minors back to Central America. Not many, anyway.
Instead,
Central America is seeing the Federal government quietly attempt to
relocate the "Surgers" without consulting local residents.
It
is important that the news in Central America contain very different
images and signals of UNwelcome -- in order to reduce the number of
minors enticed into the dangers of a trip north.
Thus,
the truly humanitarian actions are coming from those who are showing up
at city council meetings to protest relocations and who are physically
blocking the arrival of buses.
Several
Members of Congress are becoming bolder. This week, 32 U.S.
Representatives signed a letter authored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)
calling on President Obama to immediately end the failed policies,
specifically DACA, that have encouraged the Surgers to come. If your
Member of Congress signed the letter, we have posted faxes for you to
thank them for their leadership.
Additionally,
Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced H.R. 5014, the Illegal Entry
Accountability Act of 2014, which would suspend aid to Mexico, Honduras,
Guatemala, and El Salvador until Congress determines that sufficient
action is taken to stop the Surge.
WHERE SHOULD 'SURGERS' BE RELOCATED?
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) yesterday offered a very sensible proposal:
"[M]ore
than 92 percent of these individuals who have been part of the recent
influx at our southern border come from must three countries El
Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, Gosar wrote to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
"Therefore,
my top three suggestions for shelter locations are as follows:
Guatemala City, Guatemala; San Salvador, El Salvador; Tegucigalpa,
Honduras.
For
the few Surgers who have truly legitimate reasons to fear their
neighbors (not the government), they can be sheltered in their own
country while alternate settlement can be found -- in THEIR country.
These are not countries where nobody is able to live safely. It will
be much cheaper to run the shelters in those countries than in U.S.
communities.
And
moving everybody to shelters in their own country should stop the
storming of our border because it will clarify in a way that the Obama
Administration has failed to do thus far that you will not be rewarded
for coming across our borders uninvited.
INDEPENDENCE DEPENDS ON REAL BORDERS
As
I wish you a celebratory Independence Day, we are reminded that true
independence requires continuing vigilance and efforts of all citizens.
Your
actions through your customized NumbersUSA Action Board and in response
to alerts from Melanie are definitely in keeping with the efforts of
our nation's founders who sought to create a national community with a
government dedicated to serving the interests of the members of that
community. None of that can exist for any people without clearly defined
and clearly enforced borders.
