That's what I suspected. The anti-libertarians characterize the position on immigration the same way they do the position on drugs. They misrepresent what is said and twist it into something that it is not.
We Libertarian are ourselves too picky about people being "pure" in their Libertarian beliefs. For example, there was a poll of 200 Libertarians in our Party's monthly newspaper, about the proper size of the federal government. Answers ranged from zero percent of the current size to 50% of the current size, with a median number of 12% (as I recall). Far too many Libertarians seem to be quick to say that the folks in the 12-50% range aren't really "pure" enough to be libertarians. And then they'd say the people at zero percent are really anarchists. As a Libertarian, *I* say anything from 0 to 50% of current spending would be so much like heaven--and so different from Democrats OR Republicans--that I'd be insanely happy.
The key things about immigration, in my opinion are: 1) completely eliminate federal government services that encourage people to come here without working, and 2) completely eliminate quota restrictions. Any idea that we shouldn't be allowed to screen them for things like communicable diseases, or hostility towards the U.S., is wrong.
