[Maelstrom]

You can't care for people, even good people, by using the government as a 3rd party provider.

It fails to be anything but the worst sort of socialist program. Otherwise, I'm in full agreement about caring for our own people.

However, the Libertarian Party's official stance cannot distinguish a real immigrant from a covert invasion by real soldiers, let alone irregular special forces. I can't see cutting off immigration entirely because as of right now many our own young people have been indocrinated into a failed system of belief that will kill our economy.

By "care" I didn't mean more socialism. We have more than enough of that. I would like to prevent Spanish from becoming our national language. I would like to make sure that Americans have jobs. I would like to have a way to determine immigrants aren't communist or Islamic agents before we let any more in. I would like to be sure that we have enough room in our country for ourselves. I would like to keep the pollution down. I want to hold onto the open spaces we have, or at least allow them to be settled by people who currently call themselves legal immigrants.

I want America for Americans -- those people who are Americans today. A few can come in, from our true Allies. Nations who have provided us troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and have given unwavering support for our geopolitical goals.
Even then, the bar should be raised considerably. Why not require a college degree? How about an advanced degree? How about requiring solid, second-generation citizens to sponsor them? None of this "my mom is in Timbuktu, so I'd like to
bring her over."
