The libertarians however are even WORSE than Bush regarding the illegal immigrant problem. Bush tries to put lipstick on a pig by saying his plan really isn't amnesty. The Libertarians are out and out proponents of amnesty!
I agree. However, recent polls among rank and file Libertarians are showing a turnabout on the issue, especially after 9/11. The latest Libertarian argument against open immigration is based on the definition of private property. The US, being the private property of its citizens, has every right to prohibit trespassers.
