My libertarian friends and I are OK with the approximate 1M visas issued to enter the USA legally a year. We are not OK with illegal immigration

Sooo, how does the Libertarians propose to stop illegal immigration? You just gonna make Gov programs go away? And that’s gonna work in CA, OR, NY, CO, etc?

Generally speaking, libertarians aren't particularly fond of centralized governments, and more specifically, don't think large geographic political entities are sustainable.

Put another way, if libertarians had our way, there would likely no longer be a single United States of America.

Are we doing it now?

End welfare to illegals, the market will dictate the flow of migrants.

I can speak for Georgian Libertarians.

You catch at the boarder and return back to Mexico or the home country.

The idea of Liberty is freedom until it encumbers someone else's freedom. There is a line. Illegal immigration crosses the line. Specifically, what laws are you challenging me on?

This is my philosophy on lawmaking.
Imagine a law being broken. Imagine the perpetrator being arrested with maximum force and at gun point. Was the law worth it?
Laws against Illegal immigration? Yes
Laws against weed? No
Laws against Government invasion of personal property? Yes. The government should protect private property owners rights even if they aren't popular or nice.
Laws for Platform protection for private companies acting as publishers? No. I have no problem with platforms having protection. But once they become publishers, they should be subject to torts just like any other publisher.
