Absolutely. A few raucous demonstrations at choice border locations would get some action too. Say 5,000 Americans march on a place where the illegals are streaming through. Or disrupt a legal border crossing where semi trucks are trying to pass through, and will lose money with the chaos
The problem with civil disobedience is that the public seldom buys into your cause if they percieve you to be problematic.
Put 250,000 on the border just standing there for a week or so, and I believe the feds would have to acknowledge 'the gig was up'.
The problem is, if someone were to try to accomplish that, people from our own side would label them something or other, and kill support as fast as they could.
This situation baffles me. I signed onto conservatism because it espoused law and order, respect for our nation, respect for our founding documents, respect for the common man though less taxation, support for moral issues and a strong ethic of right and wrong.
The stand on illegal immigration that wink and a nod approves of it, betrays everything consevatism has stood for. This is a very sad day for me.
Not only is it damn wrong, it is destroyed any cohesive nature we have. Sooner or later good people will undoubtedly throw their hands up and say WTF, this is a waste of time. The people who joined me in my core beliefs, have left the reservation. Alas, conservatism is no more.
