You have four choices; McCain, Obama, Barr, stay home (Sorry No Ron Paul). Bob Barr is no different from McCain. But a vote for Barr is essentially a vote for Obama.

Apparently, among some conservatives, there’s been some dispute over where Libertarians stand on the issue of illegal immigration.

“The Libertarian Party has not exactly been strong on the issue of controlling the Mexican invasion into this country,” Boortz began.

“Actually, they have been,” Barr replied.

The two gentlemen moved to the matter of what to do with the paperless people who are already here.

Said Barr:

“You set a mechanism internally to determine who is here. And if you catch folks that are here unlawfully, and do not submit themselves to a background check that those coming into this country are going to be required to do, then you send them back to their country.”

Said Boortz:

“It sounds to me that you’re saying, if you find an illegal immigrant in this country, and they’re willing to submit to a background check, that that could open the door to them staying here.”

Said Barr:

“I think as a practical matter, that makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure how you would go about rounding up millions of people and trying to deport them. The key here is security….”

Thanks for your comments, but I see nothing there that hasn't been said already.

As for choices, I will decide on that when the time comes.

On the dialog between Boortz and Barr, the latter's "plan" is nothing more than "amnesty lite". He offers up the usual weak "too many to deport" open borders excuse when he is well aware that a tough enforcement program will accomplish what has been called "sel-deportation". It works. But not without tough and determined enforcement.

For true conservatives, McCain is not an option. For those with more flexible principles, however, he is a definite possibility.

“The Libertarian Party has not exactly been strong on the issue of controlling the Mexican invasion into this country,” Boortz began.”

Nor has Neal Boortz been strong on illegal immigration over the years. I listed to him for several years starting in the mid-nineties. He often proclaimed himself to be a Libertarian, and I heard him state his position on immigration several times BEFORE the amnesty debates of the past few years. I always disagreed with his position.

Libertarians are almost open borders advocates, at least they were a few years ago. Boortz would say that anyone who wished to come here and work, be self-supporting and obey our laws should be allowed to come here. Meaning, no immigrations laws to prevent such people from coming here.

He’s changed since, and has been a strong opponent of amnesty, and calls the illegals invaders.
