The libertarian notion of Open Borders only works when you don’t have a welfare state supporting migrants. In fact, we used to have a fairly porous border with Mexico (even more porous, which is fairly shocking). But until they managed to get free healthcare, free childcare (aka “school”), etc... it wasn’t a big problem.
The rest of the candidates want to keep the welfare state going. Who amongst the rest of the remaining “Republicans” is planning on keeping illegals out these days?
L Ron Paul also voted not to condemn Ahmadinejad of Iran when he was here.
His views on national and international affairs are no different than Ted Kennedy
His economic stand won’t make a difference when the enemy takes over.
