There are many of us in the Libertarian party that are strongly against open borders. That doesn't sound very libertarian to me. No one agrees with 100% of any political party's platform. That's definitely true for Republicans and Democrats, because neither of those parties is founded on a specific principle. The Libertarian Party IS founded on a specific principle. For others who might not be aware of it: "We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose."--From the LP membership card The last I checked, I support 100% (every plank) of the Libertarian Party platform. Mark (Libertarian Party, accept no substitutes!)(Except Ron Paul is fine.) For your information, every issue in the Libertarian party plank is argued about, except the belief in non-initiation of force.
There are many Libertarians on both sides of the issue of open borders, as well as abortion. The votes are close on both of those issues as to whether to keep them. A Libertarian party member does not have to believe in every party plank to be a Libertarian, you just have to believe in the non-inititation of force.
A Libertarian party member does not have to believe in every party plank to be a Libertarian, you just have to believe in the non-inititation of force.If you believe in the non-initiation of force, how can you support holding (forcing) people outside the United States--people who represent no danger to others--from coming into the United States to live? How is that NOT "initiating force"?
