A fellow I know, Dave Marlett, answered yes to this question and has come up with a real way to do so. A real way any individual American can.
It happened when he wanted to get his house painted last spring. He couldn't find, out of all the house painting businesses that he called, one that could guarantee it didn't employ illegal alien workers.
There have to be companies who follow the law and refuse to hire illegals, he told himself. But how would he or anyone find them? What if there was a way to find them, a sort of clearinghouse enabling customers all over the country to locate companies that have pledged to hire only legal workers?
That's how Dave conceived of ProAmericaCompanies.
From it's birth just four months ago, ProAmericaCompanies is now an association of over 1,000 businesses, from nationwide chains like Costco to local mom-n-pop holes in the wall. The website provides a completely free listing for any American company pledging to hire only legal workers, and completely free access for customers trying locate such companies in their area or anywhere in the country.
Dozens of companies are being added daily. There'll be over 3,000 Pro America Companies by Christmas, twice that by next Easter.
The association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational foundation in which you can participate by forming your own local chapter. There are already chapters in 44 states and DC. You'll be sent informational material to pass out to businesses in your area. Drop it off, explaining to the manager or owner that you and many others would better patronize his business if they were listed as a Pro America Company. No arguments or debates, just drop off the info, quick explanation, in and out.
This is a way you can actually, individually do something about illegal immigration. If you'd like to form a chapter, email Dave at

, or give him a call at 214-208-2148. I told him he'd be hearing from you.
