Other than e-mailing my congressmen and senators weekIy I stopped:
●shopping at Wal-Mart and Home Depot
●buying packaged chicken
●buying produce at the grocery stores, I buy from local farmers
●stopped eating at any restaurant that has a Mexican name or menu
I would like to protest illegal immigration!! We could use some good ideas. Americans aren't quick to stop working, though, it's an ethics and financial thing. We have to pay all those taxes to support those illegal freeloaders. We don't get free medical, food stamps or subsidized housing. We have to pay for all that stuff out of our paychecks and missing a day makes a big difference. If we could have a HUGE protest on a Saturday in Washington, flying the USA Stars & Stripes and with banners and signs telling how WE are fed up with being abused financially by those illegal immigrants and how we are not going to continue to take it, how our government is suppose to uphold our laws and protect the CITIZENS of the USA from invaders intent on destroying our livelihoods, yelling with bullhorns and microphones, so they'd HAVE to hear us....I would be there, some way some how, I WOULD BE THERE!!!

Protesting illegal immigration is like protesting murder or arson. Congress, the majority of the people and the law already oppose illegal immigration. Providing a workable sane approach to dealing with the existing problem is what is needed. That is what both houses of congress and the adminsitratiion are debating.
The populist approach adopted by the House in their bill "deport all illegal aliens, stop all future ones" is impractical. We have some 300,000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported by the courts who still live in the country. We know who these people are, but still we cannot find them. Try expelling 12 million [give or take a few million] who are unknown and unrecorded, half of whom are probably children and half of those born in the country?
Cant be done aside from creating a permanent underclass and a source of crime as they resist. In addition they do have work and, if one could deport them all, we would damage our own economy. Not of course to mention the morality of the proposal.
The President since being elected has promoted a solution involving stopping the inflow, providing a way to make illegal aliens legal over time and providing a worker program to create a legal way to meet the need for Mexican labor.
The problem is highly complex and the senate has suggested a highly complex solution closer to the President's proposal; but with much more complex rules for accepting current illegals. The problem is complex and thesolution will have to be complex, but workable. It is doubtful if the details of the senate plan are workable as well.
Astonishingly Europe deals with this matter by allowing all countries in the EU freedom of immigration, no paper work needed. In the present mood noone would buy this in america, but we have free trade with Mexico and Canada , maybe we should consider the next step as freedom of borders. Yes I know -- security!, but one day we may consider it.
Protest or promote some solution if you like, but protesting illegal immigration on which all agree is pointless.

I own a business and I don't hire illegals.I live in AZ and they are every where .I have a few good sites I could direct you to,you may find interesting.I have been witting and phoning my Senator and Representatives .I donate to the coalition that will help the most to close the borders..
I write letters to newspapers and give and attend fund raisers. There's a lot you can do.if you are serious contact me .I'm not against any one nationality ,I want the borders closed tight for awhile until this country get a handle on this illegal problem.
That's childish to say its about hate,i don't hate anyone,I don't want to support anymore illegals of any race.I am not a racist I'm a realist,there's a huge difference.

Let's protest in front of mexican restaurants and stores. Maybe they will get the hint. That we are pissed off at them. And every illegal that comes and tells us were wrong lets put immigration on speed dial and call them.

I see countless alienation goin' on right here. My father became an immigrant who waited his turn and got here right here LEGALLY; in this admire, i think like people who come right here with out documentation are a slap interior the face to the likes of my Dad. and that i do no longer think of that's honest to American taxpayers to might desire to pay for the welfare and coaching of illegals and their toddlers. on the different hand, I even have no longer something yet sympathy for those desperate adequate to danger coming right here to artwork the backside-of-the-barrel jobs with the intention to earn a pair of dollars. the undertaking even nonetheless, isn't the individuals themselves; that's company united statesa.. If our leaders have been adament approximately unlawful immigration, that they had initiate levying vast fines against agencies that hire them. yet till company American (with its deep wallet) is now no longer the backbone of our government, you will by no ability see it take place.

We all need to continually write, email etc our elected representatives (even tho the corporations own them) and keep after them about illegal immigration issues. If they think enough people are angry and they could lose their cushy jobs they'll take action out of self-preservation.

It's simple, use a strategy from their playbook. All legal citizens who work at a place that employs illegal aliens, boycott their jobs on a particular day much like they did on May Day (which by the way is a communist holiday).

Unlike some ignorant posts suggest, protests are merely a show of solidarity against some injustice. Such as the government not doing enough to A: stop the influx of illegal immigration. And B: punish the lawbreakers already here.
I am all for hearing any good ideas you may have to punish or get rid of these criminals.

Robo is right. Wall the border, hire and train more border patrolmen. And arm them.
Fine and jail employers of illegals.
Moritorium on those working, paying taxes, etc.Not amnesty. Did I mention arm border patrolmen?
Illegals are outlaws. Illegals are aliens.
Did I mention arm border patrolmen?

We just need to get our leaders in Congress to secure the borders and enforce current laws. Any city that acts as a harbor to illegals, like LA, should have all federal funding witheld until they comply with the law.
