Hardly an apt comparison, you had to be invited to Galt’s gulch because it was totally privately owned. Also libertarians aren’t objectivists, the concepts the nation and citizenship matter little to libertarians while they are very important to objectivists.

Now while objectivists are divided on the issue, I say build the wall then open up legal immigration to all the law abiding and productive immigrants from non Islamist, non tribal, and non communist countries that we can process. They get no benefits other then what comes with military service.

I’d say you had to be invited to Galt’s Gulch because they didn’t want to the looters to destroy it.

“Also libertarians aren’t objectivists, the concepts the nation and citizenship matter little to libertarians while they are very important to objectivists.”

That’s a fair and important distinction, but that does nothing to take away from the iconic status of Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged among open-borders libertarians/anarchists. Incidentally, I loved the book, mainly for her portrayal of the Left. She nailed them.

I agree with you on building the wall, then having a sane immigration policy that doesn’t reward the worst more than the best. Take away the public benefits, and the problem partially solves itself anyway.
