So I take it you think the idea of denying any governmental benefits to immigrants, as a condition of their being allowed to immigrate, is a bad idea?
And I presume, by your statements, that you think a physical fence will work better than a network of sensors to detect illegal border crossers. How does a fence 50 miles from the nearest guard or road stop anyone with even primitive tools from cutting a hole in the fence and walking right in?

Why do you think that is important? Even the Libertarian position paper you referenced says it will do little to stem the tide of immigration.

It will work far better than the Libertarian virtual fence designed to ‘encourage immigrants to use official crossings’ so we can check their vaccinations. That is from the same Libertarian position paper you referenced.
Now a question for you, do you really care anything about stemming the flow of immigrants or are you also for “free and open borders” like the Libertarian position paper advocates?
