If ordinary Americans want to have a hand in solving this problem, then they should leave the lawn chairs in the garage and pressure their representatives in Congress to crack down on employers and shut down the job magnet that draws illegal immigrants here in the first place. They should protest outside the headquarters of companies that have a record of hiring illegal immigrants and boycott their products and services. And they should pressure city councils to pass ordinances that levy stiff fines on the casual user, those motorists who pull over to the curb to hire day laborers waiting on street corners.

Granted, none of this is as sexy as storming up and down the border in fatigues and carrying night scopes and walkie-talkies. But it's bound to pay bigger returns.
