I just read something that said the House will have to pass it, and then Trump would have to sign off on it. So if true, frick them because it ain’t happening!

What do right leaning libertarians actually want TO DO?
They do not seem to spend much time promoting anything.

During a normal time in America, I would be able to appreciate the principle stances of these guys. I think it’s fricking cute these asswipes think their children will have a safe America to live in. They can’t be bothered to read the room and notice a COUP is being run on this presidency again. USAID, FBI, assassinations attempted, elections being stolen, communists rioting…BUT WE MUST WORRY ABOUT TARIFFS. They obviously think America coming to an end won’t affect them.

They want to fix it. Like right leaning libertarian Milei in Argentina.

What about I one up that. Why don't I post you some quotes and some readings like this one:
Libertarian case for open borders:
The right to migrate can be considered a corollary of the libertarian view that people should be free to do what they please (individually or collectively) unless it violates the rights of others.
A more moderate version: restrictions of the right to migrate are only moral if there is clear evidence of very bad consequences. We might call this moderate version a presumptive right to migrate.
Libertarians’ view of obligations to strangers has two core premises. First, no obligations to strangers beyond respecting their rights. Second, a very strong obligation to respect their rights. Together, these premises argue in favor of not letting concerns about harms to fellow nationals be a justification for opposing free migration.
LINK
Economist and libertarian theorist Walter Block argues that restrictions on immigration are incompatible with libertarianism.
Libertarian author Jacob Hornberger, a proponent of freer immigration policies, argues that open borders is the only libertarian immigration position.
Political philosopher Adam James Tebble argues that more open borders aid both the economic and institutional development of poorer migrant sending countries, contrary to "brain-drain" critiques of migration.
Jeffrey Miron and the CATO Institute(Libertarian think tank):
Forget the Wall Already, It’s Time for the U.S. to Have Open Borders (headline)
America has nothing to fear, and much to gain, from open borders. Trump has it exactly backwards: The solution to America’s immigration problems is open borders, under which the United States imposes no immigration restrictions at all. If the U.S. adopts this policy, the benefits will far outweigh the costs.

Need more?
Well here is an extra bonus. Mr Block, the libertarian economist..etc. He was a socialist.
One more bonus... Milton Friedman: "I am in favor of free immigration"

Rand Paul is just a mouthy little bitch. I cannot think of one substantive thing he has accomplished

Friedman said you can't have open borders in a welfare state. That was his position.

Yes. Right leaning is Austrian/hayekian. Who among the Austrian economists believe in open borders?

Here is the question and the answer he gave:
There's another question. Should the USA open its borders to all immigrants? What's your opinion on that?
I am in favor of free immigration, but not if you have a welfare state.
He also said in that same interview:
I would like to see a world in which you could have open immigration.
