Since I've seen them sold in stores the answer is: Probably not unless you actually pretend to be an INS agent .
If you just want to have some harmless fun then do what I used to do when I lived in Kookifornia . Go to any field where Mexicans are picking something and begin yelling "Migra !"(pronounced Mee-gra) , you'll quickly be able to tell who has a green card from those who don't ...

I'm not qualified to give you legal advice on this area, but I can tell you that yelling "La Migra! La Migra!" will clear out a South Texas grain elevator like nobody's business. Just don't let the owner catch you!
BTW, I had an FBI shirt that looked semi-official on the front. Of course, it said "Female Body Inspector" on the back, but don't think I didn't try....

If you have "La Migra" printed on your shirt, the literate mexicans will understand you better. Not all of them read english initials for U.S. agencies.

If you're certain you know everything, there's little opportunity to learn anything.
Oh, man, I've been dying to pull something like that. Print up a t-shirt here at work, don some sunglasses, and open-carry my pistol around town. I swear I could clear out the hispanic grocery stores in a few seconds flat.
As long as you're not impersonating an INS (actually it's ICE now) officer, you're legal. Just don't start flashing a badge or stopping/putting your hands on people.
i think you're fine tard...unless you cause mass panic, then they might get you for disturbing the peace. even then, you'd have some first amendment protections-remember to say you wore it to show your support for the INS. Don't think this is akin to yelling "fire" in the movies. aught makes a good point also...just be passive, don't try to give the impression that you're with the INS.
An INS shirt would be okay - so long as you weren't "impersonating an officer of the law."
That means, no arrests, no cuffing, no statements that would indicate that you are, in fact, an INS agent.
Here's an idea:
Carrying a video camera on a spring break trip
wearing a shirt that says "GIRLS GONE WILD" and "STAFF" on the back. Carry a stack of papers that are waivers and releases of all legal liability. Make it all official-like.
This has been on my palate for a while now, but I never mustered up the cahones to try it.
