Can someone explain to me the Libertarian Party's policy on immigration? I've read it on their website, but I'm confused on that point. Do they advocate "open borders" for all (including illegals), or only for those that are trying to get here by going through the legal process? That's the only policy of theirs that worries me.
They try to balance this insanity by saying that of course for this to work we must do away with all welfare and government benefits. Everyone in the world should be allowed in, they just won't get anything for their efforts from the taxpayer.
The big problem with this thinking is well, their kids still have to go to school, who's going to pay for that? And what if they get sick and can't afford hospital care? Are going to let them die in the street? Of course not. Just these expenses alone would add up to billions of dollars, but the Libertarians continue on that their "plan" is workable. It is not, and that's why during election time they get about 05% of the vote if that.
As long as they keep open borders in their platform, they will always be an insignificant force in the elections.
