A boycott of U.S. businesses is being organized in Mexico on May 1st to pressure U.S. congress to legalize undocumented immigrants. The businesses call this protest misguided because they supply 25% of Mexico's formal private-sector jobs. The organizers of the boycott said they know this, but are angry that these companies pay very low wages to Mexicans.
The only lasting way to stem illegal immigration is by improving Mexico's economy so that crossing the border isn't the only way to find opportunity. How to accomplish this goal seems to be another problem altogether.
