The Libertarian Party of San Francisco passed resolutions this month denouncing recent immigration policies enacted by the Trump administration, as well as the decision by former Libertarian National Committee Chair Angela McArdle to award President Donald Trump an honorary lifetime membership with the party.
According to a statement from the party published on social media, both resolutions were adopted by those in attendance at the party’s February 8 meeting. The party did not specify how many members attended, only noting that the resolutions were unanimously approved. The statement also reiterated that only Libertarian Party of California members affiliated with the San Francisco party are allowed to vote on internal party business.
The full text of the resolutions, as published by the party on social media, is presented below:
Resolution Against Trump’s Honorary Lifetime Membership
“Be it resolved that the Libertarian Party of San Francisco denounces the honorary Lifetime Membership awarded to President Trump by the former LNC Chair, a decision we do not believe she had the authority to execute.”
Resolution Against Trump’s Mass Deportations
“Be it resolved that the Libertarian Party of San Francisco denounces President Trump’s mass deportation crack downs, including separation of parents and children, as inhumane and antithetical to Liberty.”
Last month, former LNC Chair Angela McArdle announced her resignation and, in a farewell address posted on X, granted Trump an honorary lifetime membership in the party as one of her final directives. She cited his engagement with party leadership and his promise to pardon Ross Ulbricht as reasons for her support. McArdle emphasized then that this honorary membership does not confer voting rights or require adherence to the party’s Non-Aggression Principle.
Following McArdle’s departure, newly elected LNC Chair Steven Nekhaila ruled Trump’s honorary membership “fictitious” and unsupported by party bylaws in a motion posted to the party’s internal list, declaring it “null and void.” However, on February 2, McArdle asserted that the membership had been purchased and was therefore irrevocable. “Our gift to him is secure and we are grateful for the libertarian advances made in this administration,” she added.
Was it unanimous? Did all five of them vote for the resolution?
No one has the right to be illegal and violate a nation’s sovereignty.
Libertarians. ROTFL!
The party has crashed and burned defending illegal aliens.
If a country cannot defend its borders it is not a country.
Galt’s Gulch defended its border!
My question is, who cares? And why does anyone think this is newsworthy?
True colors.
They are liberal democrats who are too afraid to admit it. There “deportation” sob story is the same one the RAT Party uses.
The Libertarians support open borders and free trade without restrictions. No wonder their party is going nowhere.
They don’t sound like they adhere to libertarian platform
Berkley was, San Francisco really isn’t.
I believe they finally changed.
This is not good news and could definitely prevent President Trump from wining his next election. BAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, as Rush Limbaugh once said; Libertarians are just Liberals who don’t have the guts to admit they are liberals.
A look to their "chair" is amusingly instructive. The "officers are listed."
About Us Libertarian Party of San Francisco
Traditional Liberals have very little — if anything — in common with Leftists such as members of the Democrat/Communist Party. Liberals sacrifice their values (Liberty and justice, to name two) because they are afraid of Leftists; because they just cannot face, much less stand up to, the evil that forms the foundation of nearly all of the secular religion of Leftism.
I never trusted Librarians. They’re always telling us to be quiet.;-)
Libertarians cannot grasp that socialists are using immigration liberty to destroy liberty.
I think those “Libertarians” are Communist infiltrators.
The LP has been lost on this one for a while. Having an open board is one thing...
Violating property rights, allowing the strip mining of social services by illegals/migrants, etc... is where the LP should rightly be siding with Trump on this one.
