The "outspoken political activist" is J.T. Ready. He is running for a council seat (District 4) in Mesa, AZ.

An outspoken political activist is planning to lead an anti-illegal-immigration rally Saturday outside the Mexican Consulate in west Phoenix.

That should have been:

An outspoken advocate for law enforcement is planning to lead a pro-legal-immigration rally Saturday outside the Mexican Consulate in west Phoenix.

What the AP story got right: Saturday's protest will be significantly smaller than recent pro-illegal-immigration rallies that drew tens of thousands to downtown Phoenix.

Interestingly enough, even Hillary kind of "gets it" where Mexico's nearly
omnipotent oligarchs are concerned:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/411104p-347791c.html

"[Mrs. Clinton] said she favors a "carrot-and-stick" approach with Mexico to
provide that government and its "oligarchs" the incentives to give Mexicans
more and better jobs in their own country."

Frankly, the more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more
reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back
monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with
economic refugees. Here's an interesting thread on new legal reform progress
that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well, by cracking down
and demanding more activism by our own United States Trade Representative
against protectionist Mexican oligarchs in, for example, the monopolistic
petroleum, telecommunications, electricity and television media sectors.
Isn't prodding our neighbor to finally clean up its own backyard before
lambasting us for ours the neighborly thing to do?
