Hopefully Wolf Blitzer, if he hasn’t been successfully warned off by the Clinton campaign, will get us some clarification during the next debate. The Clinton campaign probably has a 3-ring binder for Wolf with his questions, and Hillary’s answers already scripted. [/sarcasm]
This is the reason that Democrats support drivers licenses for illegals, and I would like to see some more attention given to this issue. |

Well, the first thing to do is to reform the immigration laws.

I can picture a cartoon of Hillary being that second lemming going over the cliff only to see the lead lemming pull the chord to his previously hidden parachute. |

"opposition is just too overwhelming to move forward with such a policy"
Those da**ed uppity citizens interfering in the proper and efficient running of government! Those undocumented (temporarily) folks would be much more cooperative. We need more of them.
I wonder if citizens who wished to establish a new identity could pretend to be undocumented aliens and get new id. It was kind of tough to do before, what with having to scrounge up an unused birth certificate and all. I may have to start practicing my espanol. |

So, what is the general neo-libertarian position on immigration law? |

uh, we’d like the current immigration laws to be enforced?
We’d like the border to have meaning again? |

looker,
So, what is specifically so great about the current immigration laws? From my POV they seem to be rather protectionist in nature.
We’d like the border to have meaning again?
Well, in the case of Mexico and the U.S. at least it has always been a rather porous border. |

rather protectionist in nature What’s protectionist about establishing a quota of people to be allowed to settle in?
Why are the rules different now than they were in my Grandparents time?
Three of my 4 came from other countries around 100 years ago.
There are millions of people from all over the world who want to come here.
We can’t take them all, it’s that simple.
Why is it protectionist to establish a yearly limit?
Why would it be protectionist to enforce the rules about entering the country at authorized check points established by the government?
Do the, say, French routinely allow unlimited numbers of people to wander in willy nilly to settle?
The Dutch?
Germans?
I recall going into Canada a number of times, where their big concern seemed to be that I prove I was employed in the United States and wasn’t trying to find a job in Canada.
That’s okay for them to do, but not for us?
Other than the Statue of Liberty welcoming the unwashed masses, what world spanning rule says the US has to take in unrestricted numbers of people who want to re-locate here in a given year?
If we all decide to move to Germany next year, are they obligated to take us in?
If they don’t, are they being protectionist? |

Libertarianism would incline one to support open borders, and I am sympathetic to that stance, but ultimately I agree with some of the bloggers here who have pointed out that an open borders policy is an impractical one for an entitlement/welfare state. There are of course security issues as well in the current era. |
