Here is the leftists agenda hidden behind the Libertarian Party curtain.

There are no leftists among the Libertarians. There are anarchists and libertines but no leftists.

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”.

Maybe we should impose border restrictions between states since it's such a good idea. What do you think? To me, the only legitimate argument against open borders is the welfare argument and if we end all welfare, that problem is solved.

On drugs, prostitution etc - These vices happen in spite of laws against them and the laws seems to make the vices more profitable. If we pass capital punishment for those who destroy the lives of others with drugs and sex slavery, then I would be in favor of decriminalizing substances and prostitution. In other words, if the junkie you sold crack to dies of an overdose, you hang. If the father of a family dies because you gave him AIDS, you hang unless the AIDS get you first. If you take minor girl, pump her full of meth, and pimp her body, you hang.

On abortion, I would never vote for a Libertarian who believes in taking the life of an unborn person without due process of law. Since unborn persons can't break laws, there should never be a reason to take their lives.

Immigration, 2004 Party Platform:
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.

Libertarian position on abortion—Do what ever you want.
