QUESTION
Can I request to be deported or relocated?
Asked on Aug 07th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was wondering if I can voluntarily request to be deported or relocated to a different country or state. I'm a 25 year old natural born citizen. I'm a dependent and I'm unemployed with no experience. Due to circumstances out of my control, I'm going to become independent and likely end up homeless. Do I have any grounds to make this request? My goal is to go somewhere more affordable where I can at least begin to try and better my situation whether it be here in the USA or abroad. Which leads to my question: If it's even possible? Do I have the grounds if so? Or if there are any other options aside of receiving welfare and/or staying at a homeless shelter? Not sure what category I should file under. Please make changes if necessary. Thank you.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you cannot be deported, either voluntarily or involuntarily. However, you are free to go anywhere you want, as long as you can afford to get there.

Since you are a US Citizen "natural born citizen" you situation is not governed by immigration law. As a US citizen, you are free to live any where you wish in the USA. That is your right. As a US citizen, you are free to move to any other country that will permit you to do so, with only a few exceptions (N.Korea may be one) But you go at your own expense. The US Government does not relocate its citizens any where - if you want to go, you must make the arrangements and pay the cost. I suggest you go see your county welfare office (In GA, DFCS) and see if they can assist you in applying for food stamps, etc.

I know very few such programs, and therefore I would state that if you wish to change your situation I would suggest first and foremost finding yourself a job. Rearly does that require relocation or, more importantly, relocation of the country.
