President Obama may have found a way to stick it to his biggest immigration critic, Alabama Senator and Donald Trump security adviser Jeff Sessions.

Sessions has consistently fought against Obama’s immigration policies and was among the first to endorse Trump and his call to build a wall along the country’s southern border, and Obama is now considering a plan to relocate thousands of illegal immigrant children to two military bases in his home state, AL.com reports.

“Sessions has been quiet on the administration’s proposal to investigate the capability of two rural and underutilized Naval air fields near Silverhill and Orange Beach to house an overflow of unaccompanied children under age 17 who entered the United States without authorization,” according to the news site.

“The senator has served as Trump’s national security advisor and is considered the Obama Administration’s toughest critic on immigration reform.”

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials who oversee the Refugee Resettlement program, of course, contend there’s no political motivation behind talks of settling illegal children in Alabama and cite a massive uptick in arrests as the main reason for exploring the possibility.

HHS spokeswoman Andrea Helling told AL.com department officials “evaluate space all over the country in places that have Democratic politicians and Republican politicians.

“We have an operational and legal responsibility to take care of these children,” she said. “We are looking at all of our options to make the best use of tax dollars.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics show the number of unaccompanied minor children apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border from October through April has nearly matched last year’s total, with five months left in the fiscal year.

A total of 32,952 illegal immigrant children were apprehended so far in fiscal year 2016, compared to annual totals of 39,952 in 2015, 68,541 in 2014, and 38,759 in 2013, according to the CBP website.

The new wave of illegal immigrants this year overwhelmed two other temporary shelters in New Mexico and Florida, and now federal officials are looking for new locations, Helling told AL.com.

Federal officials are expected to discuss the potential resettlement camps during a teleconference with Baldwin County Commissioners tomorrow morning, but many already are clearly against the idea and believe it stems from presidential politics at its worst.

“It’s highly probable that this is more political than practical,” Baldwin County Commissioner Chris Elliot told AL.com.

“We can’t understand why logistically, HHS will give it a glance,” commissioner Tucker Dorsey said. “There’s nothing out there.”

Baldwin County sheriff Hoss Mack said he hopes the resettlements doesn’t happen because “the polls I’ve seen is Alabama is very conservative on the immigration issue. The federal government is not.”

Mack is also concerned because some illegal immigrant minors are affiliated with gangs, others work as drug mules, and there’s no reliable way to perform background checks on the youth.

“A major concern is if some of these unclaimed children are coming across the border, is there a faction of those who can be connected to criminal activity?” Mack said. “We don’t know that and it’s a concern.”

Alabama U.S. Sen. Richard Selby and U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne have also criticized the plan.

“It is troubling additional facilities are needed at all,” Bryne said.

Political experts, meanwhile, seem to agree the resettlement threat is politically motivated, whether the Obama administration will admit it or not.

“There is no political penalty for President Obama, or for Hillary Clinton, for putting immigrants in Alabama,” University of Alabama communication professor Larry Powell told AL.com. “It will make Republicans mad, but Alabama isn’t going to vote Democratic anyone. Why not take a stab at irritating Jeff Sessions? There’s nothing to lose on the part of the president.”

University of Alabama political science professor William Stewart seconded Powell’s comments.

“You can’t take politics out of politics,” he said. “At the highest levels of government, staffs are paid to be aware of the political implications of what they propose. They are aware of the places their critics call home.”

If approved, the move would relocate the illegal immigrant minors one county away from Sessions’ home in Mobile County.

Mobile political strategist Jonathan Gray noted that Baldwin County is among the most conservative areas of the state, and the proposed plan illustrates exactly why many locals despise the government.

“This is why people hate the federal government,” he said. “They don’t ask questions, ask permission and don’t knock on the door and tell neighbors what they will be doing next door. They just show up and destroy people’s lives.”

A whopping 46.9 percent of voters in Baldwin County backed presidential hopeful Donald Trump during the March 1 Republican primary, AL.com noted.

“Could they be smart to develop a strategy to poke the tiger? Or are they that stupid to likely pick the worst place to do this? … I’m going with stupid,” Gray said. “There are certainly more liberal, well-prepared areas with which to do this without the controversy you are going to find in south Alabama.”

U.S. Rep. Bryne also believes the plan has more to do with incompetence than political paybacks.

“I think it is the combination of a totally misguided policy being implemented by an incompetent part of the federal government,” he said.
