No, it is not, (see post 11) so long as you are not confusing Old Right libertarians with the Libertarian Party platform.

"The problem is not that we are letting too many people into the United States," writes Griswold, "but that the government is not keeping out the wrong people. An analogy to trade might be helpful: We can pursue a policy of open trade, with all its economic benefits, yet still exclude goods harmful to public health and safety, such as diseased meat and fruits, explosives, child pornography, and other contraband materials. In the same way, we should keep our borders open to the free flow of people, but at the same time strengthen our ability to keep out those few who would menace the public."

Looks like they support open borders to me. And they're also peddling guest worker programs and amnesties. They are totally out of sync with conservatives on this issue.

Who is this 'they' you are referring to?

Cato?

Cato is funded by neoconservatives (Steve Forbes, Rupert Murdoch amongst others) who hold open borders as an article of faith.
