So libertarians are for open borders?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am a libertarian. This is how I would like to see immigration handled:

There would still be limits on how many could enter our country each year. A culture will not remain a culture if overwhelmed with immigrants it can not absorb.

There would be absolutely no welfare assistance or free government K-12 schooling or reduced tuition at government colleges and universities. ( In a libertarian world there would be no government K-12 or university schools.)

Every immigrant would have a sponsor that would would place in escrow all that would be needed to support that immigrant for a minimum of five years. Businesses could do this, family, friends, or the immigrant himself. This sponsorship would also include the purchase of a comprehensive health and life insurance policies and tuition at a private school for any children.

No immigration of Muslims or any other national, ethnic, or religious group that has openly declared its hostility to our way of life.

Absolutely no anchor baby citizenship.

No favoritism show to extended family.

Preference would be given to those with the highest levels of education and who have mastered English.

I think most libertarians would agree with me that

a) Fairly porous borders with welfare state benefits and anchor-baby citizenship to everyone that gets through (the status quo)

is much worse than

b) Open borders with none of those goodies available.
