LP short version immigration.
3.4 Free Trade and Migration
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.

LP long version immigration.
IMMIGRATION:
THE ISSUE: We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new “Berlin Wall” which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government’s policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.

THE PRINCIPLE: We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age or sexual preference. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.

SOLUTIONS: We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.

TRANSITIONAL ACTION: We call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.

Rand, being a senator is valuable. Think 6 year terms. Massie is just a gnat. We need a strong libertarian but showboating should be up to the senator. Funny I thought Massie would be a good successor to the turtle but he knows better than to take that leap.

The idea there has to be a litmus test is what the left does. Paul and Massie are not rino’s in the historical Connie Morella sense. Those were repubs who consistently voted with the democrats. Its important to have naysayers and allow differing opinions, or you are just democrats in red.

Libertarians are globalists. They are unacceptable.

That is all twisted myth and biased lie.

Their stance has always been to stop “giving them free stuff” period. They come here they get NOTHING. They will all go home, stay away, and stop coming. In which case we would not even need to spend any money on a wall or illegal immigration control.
