so is it time for we the people through our state legislatures (requires two thirds of the states) to call for a convention to propose a constitutional amendment defining the federal government's role and responsibility for defending our borders?

Yes.

If that doesn't work I do believe the esteemed Mr. Jefferson said something once about how to handle the government when they step out of line and refuse to listen to the people.

Mr. Jefferson provided you with elections every two years, and you can bet your last dime that the Congress does nothing BUT "listen to the people".

The problem is, there is no cost to a Member to support illegal immigration, and until the people see fit to impose such a cost, nothing will change.

I'm for skipping the convention and jumping to the 2nd amendment part! :)
