Libertarian candidate casts Trump deportation plan as 'insanity'
CNN Politics ^ | May 23, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Gary Johnson, the likely Libertarian candidate for president, is blasting Donald Trump's policy on immigration as "insanity," and positioned himself as a helping hand to those who came here illegally.

Johnson, a former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico, is expected to emerge this weekend as the Libertarian standard-bearer.

"Is my door going to be knocked down because I'm going to get checked for papers?" Johnson said while praising undocumented immigrants who are leaders in their communities.

"We're going to now come in and knock down doors and they're going to be deported? It'd be like putting them on the moon," he said from New Mexico....

He just admitted to aiding and abetting criminals and criminal activity. Bust his door down and arrest him.

How about something really easy to do?

Amend the Constitution:
1. the citizenship by birth in USA clause of Amendment XIV is voided and every child born in the USA after today shall have the citizenship of their mother.

2. Any Congress may authorize for its term and for one year thereafter that each child it alone shall chose to cover by its law shall be treated as if it has the citizenship of its father, provided the father verifiably:
a. lived in the same housing unit with the mother for over six months prior to conception and/or
b. provided health insurance for the mother for at least one year prior to conception and/or
c. was married solely to the mother for at least six months

“America belongs to Americans.”

Latin Americans are Americans.

The United States is for United States citizens and such others as United States law shall reasonably permit to be on US soil.

The main reason, among others, that I will never be a Libertarian. Like Communists, they take human behaviour out of the equation for their utopian vision.

Latin Americans are Americans.

In the sense that Latin Americans, and Canadians as well, are residents of the American continents, that statement is true. However, in a historical sense, the United States was the first independent nation on the two continents, excluding the Indian tribes. The term American may be properly applied to the citizens of the United States, as distinguished from Canadians, Mexicans, Chileans, et. al. To the rest of the world, Americans are a distinct nationality from other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

Inn a similar vein, the term Caucasian can apply to both inhabitants of the Caucasus Mountains and to members of the white race. A Southerner can have the specific meaning of a person inhabiting the states of the former Confederacy and another specific meaning of inhabitants of the southern regions of other countries.

Please, let’s not over analyze the sh!t out of everything.

It’s pretty clear that I was not referring to “Latin Americans” or Northern American Canadians, or South American Argentinians, or any other stupid BS.

Pretty sure that everyone knows Americans are from America.

The leftists are serious about 90% taxation.

That level of taxation is only a few million votes away from the grasping hands of leftist politicians.

Things that were unimaginable to us when Obama took office are now laws of the land.

It used to. Now it belongs to illegals, muslims, libtards, and anybody from a 3rd world backwater cesspool.

Gary johnson is cut from the same “It’s mine, dammit, I waited for it. It’s my turn”, cloth as Hillary.

This is his THIRD TIME AROUND THE TRACK.

**HE** and his megalomania is the reason I dumped the Libertarian Party, and heard the calling from Diamond and Silk.

What do you do when the government of your country begins to despise you and then decides to replace you?

I think we are going to have to answer that question, because that is exactly what they are doing.

We should’ve answered that question back in 1965 with the passage of Ted Kennedy’s insane immigration law.

At this point, every “box” has been used save one.

This is where we are at and not even a Trump election can stop the slide IMO.

Yeah, I agree.

This country is going to arrive at its final destination one way or another.

For a Libertarian, philosophically it makes sense. A libertarian prefers to pretend borders don’t exist and it is the employers’ right to free access of labor. Which makes sense in a perfect world. But we don’t have a perfect world.

“The main reason, among others, that I will never be a Libertarian. Like Communists, they take human behaviour out of the equation for their utopian vision.”

And they’ll do nothing to preserve American culture or heritage. Their highest value appears to be money.
