Oh, I'm sure that Arizona is shaking in its little booties about being boycotted.

As long as the US has a better quality of life than Mexico, "the incentive" to come here will persist.

The only way to destroy the incentive would be to elevate the Mexican lifestyle dramatically (which I do not see happening), or to dramatically lower freedoms and opportunity in the US (another hundred years or so of progressivism chipping away at individual liberty and the free market may accomplish this, but it won't matter by then).

The question is not "can we secure our borders" - we can.
The question is "do we have the political and economic willpower to do so?"
We do not.

We must accept that immigration will continue to be a serious issue for the US. With prevention ruled out, the only remaining option is damage control. We should institute programs designed to increase English fluency, promote the family unit (a stable family structure has been proven to have an enourmous beneficial influence on variables such as poverty, crime and health) and stress civics. The focus should be on incorporating immigrants entirely into functional society, not incorporating functional society into our immigrants. We have seen what happens when that experiement is attempted - look no further than the Muslimification of Europe that has been accellerating over recent years. Nor does immigration pose this assumed "positive benefit" for the economy that its champions assert. Rather, the benefit tops off at a certain maximum value point and then plummets, COSTING more per immigrant after that point. We've seen this demonstrated over and over recently, but again, Europe comes to mind, as it has engaged in nearly the same experiment. From 1971 to 2000, the number of immigrants in Germany more than doubled (from 3 million to 7.5 million), but the amount of immigrants that were employment did not change - 2 million.

I don't hate illegals. Heck, I am technically an illegal alien in Korea, as the government determined my contract was not legal.

All this said, we have to be rational and understand that large groups of people entering a country and refusing to adopt the culture can, by nature of an eventual plurality (if American birthrates continue to drop or remain level while illegal birthrates and immigration continue to increase or remain level), bypass the social and legal systems we have set up to ensure that our societ resists transformations.

We have protected our society from the legal rule of the tyrannical majority, but not from a more silent usurpation by a demographic. It's not racism or paranoia, but just a cold look at numbers and a bit of extrapolation. Countries that control their immigration much more strictly recognize the risks associated with eroding their demographic fabric.

Arizona making it a CRIME to be in the state ILLEGALLY? What is the world coming to?!

I see no reason for immigration per se to ever be illegal. European settlers who forcibly took land away from Native Americans had no real legal status to do so, and their descendants' claims to lawful ownership are also ultimately bogus since they inherited stolen property (from illegal immigrants).

So much gun ownership is needed to protect vast amounts of stolen property - so Arizona has "legalized" more guns to fight off the so-called "illegal aliens" (in a classic case of doublespeak).

Moreover, why should migrant workers be any more blocked by artificial borders than migrating birds or butterflies are?

Politically, I think the prospect of losing their Major League spring training business will cause some consternation among a lot of folks .

Was thinking, if California boycotts Arizona that merely means that impaired accounts receivable on Arizona's balance sheet will be smaller.

Also, the broke as hell liberal states will have quite a bit of boycotting to do:

The US needs to crack down on illegal immigration, but if there isn't a simultaneous elimination of the minimum wage laws and elimination of the food stamp program, food costs in the US will skyrocket more than most people can imagine.
