robot,
My concern about Libertarians is ENTIRELY their position on LEGAL immigration.
I’m not aware of any “L” who has called for reductions in Legal Immigration and Chain Migration.
We are creating at least 1 million new citizens EVERY year.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, first generation Hispanics vote 80% for the Democrat Party.
Fourth generation Hispanics vote 60% for the Democrat Party.
Since John Kennedy was elected in 1960, no Republican candidate has received more than 40% of the Hispanic vote (the 44% claim for Bush in 2004 is vigorously disputed).
In New Mexico, the female Hispanic Republican governor received only 39% of the Hispanic vote!
On the issue of LEGAL immigration, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of Congress, and Libertarians are avidly working for their own political destruction!
I believe you misread my post. There was no talk about amnesty. Merely following the Law, as it exists, and getting the gov’t out of the areas it has no Constitutional basis for being within. You are correct though, in that we should be more selective and thoughtful for whom we allow to stay; too many these days do not care to immigrate like my own great-grandparents (I’m only 3rd gen myself).
Interesting though. It’s usually at least ONE of the (L) positions, taken to the fringe, that ‘everyone’ uses to write off the Libertarians; then whine and complain when the GOPe bends them over, w/out a lube up, and/or reach-around. Odd, no?!
There is no (L) group in Congress pushing for MORE/legal immigrations. There is the GOP, though, that is willing, AGAIN, to grant amnesty to 20+MILLION ILLEGAL aliens in this Country right now.
Please stop bashing a group whom has almost NO power in Congress. Your own party hasn’t fought for the Constitution, nor followed the same, until the (well backed by We the People) bill to not pay Congress; then they all found Jesus and rose Holy Hell (excuse the phrases).
