We need to take Mexico's Article 33 word for word and make it an Amendment to the US Constitution.
Problem is this issue has long term implications, and congress has never been very good at seeing long term implications. Their past legislation proves this.
I'm waiting for a good leader to emerge.
Simple platform......
Enforce all laws, especially those involving immigration.
Drill for oil wherever and whenever before China beats us to our own domestic reserves off shore.
Term limits for Congress.
Fair or flat tax.
Fast-track a Manhattan Poject/Apollo Moon Mission - like crash building program of new refineries and nuclear, solar, wind, tide and hydroelectric power plants.
Outlaw environmental terrorism and made it an equal to the War on Terror!
and a few others to be named later.
I think a growing number of Americans see it that way.
Thank you Lord for sending the boycotts/protests. You have opened the eyes of those who refused to see.
"Does anyone else see the boycott as an act of aggression by a foreign enemy?"

People in amusement park lines should shout out "Who supports amnesty for immigrants?" Then, cut in front of whoever's got their hand up nearest the front of the line.
I wonder how long it will be before these protest marches turn into riots.
YES there will be a wall/fence built with or without Govt!
NO never amnesty to a bunch of miscreants!
Evil is as evil does and we have fought against all that is the illegal aliens and will continue that fight and win!
Insurgents?
'every' might be a bit much, but I agree. It seems to be more and more coming to some kind of compromise with stepped up security plus amnesty for some portion of current illegals. Those advocating mass deportations are living in a fantasy land, assuming by 'mass' they mean millions. The bottom line issue is to what degree illegal immigrants are willing to adapt to US values (assimilate) and how much will they be just another grievance group out for what they can squeeze from the rest of the people paying taxes here.
It's a socialist, liberal communist thing!
I'm against amnesty but if I weren't I'd add abolishing dual citizenship to your list.
Make two years military service a requirement for amnesty.

BAck in 2000 I sent emails out to my senators. During the Bush/Gore campaign in 1999 many Somalis some who were here in the USA for less than 6 months took part in our presidencial elections. One man who was here less than six months knew American politics so well that he knew all the cabinet members of JFKs administration on up through Clinton. They told me that they received "voting cards" from the Clinton administration.
That's not all! This immigration problem gets more complex than is being mentioned. Right now we're focusing on illegals. But I think there is another group of what I call "semi-illegals". I lost track of this problem after Bush became President but near the end of the Clinton administration I learnt the following from Somalis here in Portland who trusted me for whatever reason. While we do get our share of Somali refugees here in the US, we are also getting many of Europe's share. I know several Somailis who lived in Italy, UK and other European nations. That's the country that gave them their assylum. From there they leave their wives at home and they bring one wife and kids to the US. (I suspect on paper they are coming from Somalia thus getting a second assylum here).
Here they work to support their wives and children who are in multiple countries.
All this information was passed on but the government pretty much ignored it.
Assimilation? They don't want no stinkin' assimilation.
The only way D.C. is going to be forced to sit up and take notice is if these protests turn violent all across the country. They have only themselves to blame for creating this monster, allowing it to fester, and then permitting it to shut down our major cities week after week. I've complained about the borders, but if someone had told me our government would allow, post 9/11, a national security nightmare as this could become, I would say never.
"the boycott as an act of aggression by a foreign enemy
That's exactly what it is, and the conduct of the Mexican government is bellicose. Not to lecture, but notice that Mexico's Fox goes out of his way to say: "Oh, we don't approve of the Mexican legislators (traveling to LA to encourage their countrymen this Monday)" because if he did, that would be a de jure state action. Mexico has shrewdly given only de facto approval to those Mexicans who have invaded our country, so they can have it both ways.

The worst part of it all, our own President should have said a long time ago,
"This shall not stand" but instead says, "Bienvenidos Amigos!"
If they continue with their mad plan to leave the borders open to invasion? We just might have to...
