Nativism is not an American value, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson declared Thursday, delivering a pointed rebuke to Donald Trump without mentioning his name while calling on an end to immigration quotas symptomatic of a broken system.
“The overwhelming cause of illegal immigration and visa overstays is the fact that our legal immigration process simply doesn’t work, and that we impose absurd caps on various work visas,” Johnson said in a statement on Thursday with his remarks to the annual National Association of Latino Elected Officials conference in Washington. “Let the market, not bureaucrats and special interests, determine how many workers we allow into the country.”
The United States' borders "must be controlled," he said, but such control "begins with knowing who is entering the country and why – not building another ‘Great Wall’ or banning immigrants on the basis of ethnicity or religion."(continued)

This guy is not getting 10% in any swing state. Another example of the polls being wrong or delusional.
He got 1% against insider-romney & insider-bathhouse-barry. This idea of him getting 10% against Trump is a joke.
There is a lot more choice between Trump-Clinton than Obama-Romney.
He’s a moron. Ask Teddy Roosevelt or Ben Franklin if it’s an American value. This is why I don’t trust Roger Stone. He said during the primary he’d vote for Johnson if Trump wasn’t running.
I am so sick of the excuse that our immigration system doesn’t work, it has worked for millions who have done it the right way.
Illegal aliens and their supporters try to blame the system they refused to use for not waiting their turn and following the laws.
Not everyone in the world has a right to come here.
The citizens of the US should decide how many is too many.
Those years averaged 250,000 a year. Well regulated immigration is healthy.
Unregulated immigration is killing us.
Their CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night was ENOUGH for me, I don’t need to see or hear either of them ever again...after 45 min. I had to leave the network...
One a drug head the other a left over boozer...give me a break, THIS IS AMERICA...
so simple question ....Libertarians believe that they then can go into any other country at will without permission. disperse respect other laws?....
This this is not libertarianism... this is anarchism globalism ....something very different then traditional American libertarianism
The Communists are further reproached for desiring to abolish countries and nationality. …Aren’t the libertarians supposed to reject this kind of stuff and not get ideas from it?
Gary “Don’t Bogart that joint” Johnson is not an American.
Much slower communications and transport.
The British Empire lasted about 100 years. You could claim that Pax American is an extension of the British Empire, and both are merely parts of the Christian Empire.
That would extend it out another 350 years, from about 1550 to present... We could also call it Western Civilization.
The Politico story was written by Bianca Padró Ocasio...
A true native if there ever was one...ROFL...:o)
One World Order
Spot on.
Neither is allowing the biggest land invasion in history to go unchallenged.
nativism is good enough for Mexicans, Liberians, most of Africa, most of South America, all of Middle Asia, and a whole lot of other countries
why isn’t it good enough for America? aren’t we special too?
I said it the moment I heard he was the LP candidate. This splits the Hillary vote. It goes without saying the Greens and Socialists take from the crusty old pantsuit.
But assimilation and loyalty, to the Nation that allows one to bask in the Freedom and opportunity, are American values....
So when illegals come here and carry their native flags to protest the US thats okay, but for us to support our own country is not.
I saw on the News the other day that he said he has Put the Pipe Down for the last 3 weeks. Hey Gary, you should have Put the Pipe DOwn 40 Years Ago!
Liberal-tarians are the backbone of political, social and economic globalism in Republican circles.
