From the LA Times:
Activists in California say that once the new Congress takes office in January, they
are planning a phone and fax blitz in response to Obama’s move. … Leo Chavez, professor
of anthropology at UC Irvine who has researched and written about the movement against
illegal immigration, said an uptick in such activity is common when there are national
events with high-media exposure, such as the border crisis last summer.
