Look back in history; the greatest changes occured when laws were broken. Rosa Parks helped the civil rights greatly by breaking the law, not paying taxes help strike the revolutionary war, suppling booze during prohibition helped people realize the law is ineffective.
Honestly, isnt breaking a law a lot more effective than petitions and marches? Sure petitions are helpful, but they are very time consuming and easily ignored.

Depends by continuously robbing banks and committing murder I doubt will make those items legal. Other things can be helped by civil disobedience

No, it's not the best way.
First of all, it only works when the law is unconstitutional, and breaking the law is the only way to get it before a court.
Most laws are not unconstitutional -- they may be stupid, redundant, ineffective, badly written -- but they are not unconstitutional. And breaking them is not going to get them changed, because the court can only step in when the law is unconstitutional.

You are so right, that is how the immigration laws will be changed.
Unless we can shoot enough of them to change the laws and make murder legal.
