Yay!
ETA: I think the best way to deal with signs like the OP is to ignore the sign. I think it's negative attention seeking behavior and by paying attention to them, you're giving them what they want. If someone wants to have a well thought out dialogue about illegal immigration, then by all means engage, but controversial sign owners aren't usually about that, in my limited experience.
Oh, and certainly engage in the personal social or actual boycott of the sign owner. I don't mean that you have to pretend that the sign just doesn't exist. But by engaging about the sign, I think you're feeding the person what the person most wants.
