I think targeting employers is the best way to go. No jobs and they won't come.

You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. Be sure to register before your 26th birthday. After that, it’s too late! Selective Service does not collect any information which would indicate whether or not you are undocumented. You want to protect yourself for future U.S. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service. Do it today! http://www.sss.gov/ "

Group against hiring illegal immigrants targeting Escondido site

By: North County Times

ESCONDIDO ---- A newly-formed group against hiring illegal immigrants was out again today at a day labor hiring site in Escondido.

About a half-dozen people, some of them carrying flags, were at Quince Street and Mission Avenue this morning as part of a continuing weekly protest effort on Fridays and Saturdays, police and witnesses said.

"They said that they were going to be out on the Mission and Quince corridor," police Lt. Mark Wrisley said.

Jeff Schwilk, leader of the San Diego Minutemen, said the protest effort by the group he knows as the Escondido Minuteman Brigade started in December. The leader couldn't be reached for comment.

The group is trying to discourage the hiring of illegal immigrants, Schwilk said.

Wrisley said someone called police at 9:07 to report some kind of disturbance in connection with the protest.

"The officer arrived and there was no problem, so he left," Wrisley said.

The lieutenant said it is common for allegations to be made, and nothing is wrong when officers arrive.
