January 19, 20241 yr The actual LP Platform on Immigration: Libertarians believe that people should be able to travel freely as long as they are peaceful. We welcome immigrants who come seeking a better life. The vast majority of immigrants are very peaceful and highly productive. Indeed, the United States is a country of immigrants, of all backgrounds and walks of life…some families have just been here for more generations than others. Newcomers bring great vitality to our society. A truly free market requires the free movement of people, not just products and ideas. Whether they are from India or Mexico, whether they have advanced degrees or very little education, immigrants have one great thing in common: they bravely left their familiar surroundings in search of a better life. Many are fleeing extreme poverty and violence and are searching for a free and safe place to try to build their lives. We respect and admire their courage and are proud that they see the United States as a place of freedom, stability, and prosperity. Of course, if someone has a record of violence, credible plans for violence, or acts violently, then Libertarians support blocking their entry, deporting, and/or prosecuting and imprisoning them, depending on the offense. Libertarians do not support classifying undocumented immigrants as criminals. Our current immigration system is an embarrassment. People who would like to follow the legal procedures are unable to because these procedures are so complex and expensive and lengthy. If Americans want immigrants to enter through legal channels, we need to make those channels fair, reasonable, and accessible.
January 19, 20241 yr Most Biden supporters are in some ways libertarian. We've already established that Biden is the most libertarian president ever.
January 19, 20241 yr Glad Texas is giving the Biden admin a huge middle finger here. Not really sure how the Biden admin trying to force Texas to help facilitate mass illegal immigration fits into the idea that Biden is somehow just as tough on illegal immigration as Trump was, but we are dealing with a cult of the dumbest people on earth.
January 19, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: So what was the excuse when Republicans had two years with full control of congress and the white house? Was Trump a secret undercover Democrat because he wasn't deporting as many people as he should've, meanwhile Obama was an undercover Republican? Democrats literally fought every single attempt at securing the border and every single deportation effort at every level. Are you really going to pretend that Democratic mayors and governors didn’t create "sanctuary” cities and states to prevent recording crimes by illegals to ICE? Are you really going to pretend that leftist political groups and NGOs didn’t engage in lawfare to prevent and delay deportations? Are you really this dishonest or uninformed (rhetorical question)?

Weird mf'er brings up libertarianism so much you'd think he'd want to read the actual party's platform. Nothing against the Libertarian Party, but honestly, the fact that Trump supporters could ever call themselves libertarians tells me it's probably time to retire small L libertarianism across the board. The word has no meaning.

Every couple of weeks there's an insane story about the Biden admin intentionally facilitating mass illegal immigration like this: On 1/4/2024 at 12:25 PM, TEW said: Liberals rarely acknowledge it. A couple of weeks go by, and then they go back to posting "herrdurr well both sides are to blame." They have the attention spans and intelligence of the average housefly.

Yeah, the Democratic Party, which is currently suing the state of Texas in order to allow illegal aliens into the country isn’t the problem.

Guess we'll have to see what the courts say about whether Texas' actions run afoul of national asylum laws. Or are the courts just filled with a bunch of psyop agents for the democrats too?

January 19, 20241 yr TEW and a hippie folk musician I know think this is the way to go. Strafe the border with A10s. Make a death zone a mile wide.

Probably because they know there are people like you willing to be intentionally stupid to "own the Trumpbots"

I didn’t omit sheet. I simply copied and pasted the immigration policy from the LP platform. You should check out the part of their platform about omissions. It’s almost like they wrote it for you. Libertarians are pretty much against welfare altogether. I am not totally against welfare, but I don’t believe non-citizens should be able to receive it. Build a wall around welfare, not the country.

You're a disgusting liberal ish poster
January 19, 20241 yr Thankfully Trump ended that BS charade: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remain_in_Mexico#:~:text=Administered by the Department of,%2C 2022%2C in Biden v. Of course Biden wanted to immediately get rid of it because Democrats don't give two ishs about illegal immigration. All these "asylum seekers" can take their arses right back to Mexico.

What about if it goes all the way to to the SCOTUS and they agree, they're disgusting liberals too, Mike?
