More Kato-Aid, senor?

The libertarian Cato Institute has emitted their latest "Handbook on Policy."

From the immigration chapter:

To better defend ourselves against terrorism and promote economic
growth, America's border-control system requires a reorientation of mission.
For the last two decades, U.S. immigration policy has been obsessed
with nabbing mostly Mexican-born workers whose only ''crime'' is their
desire to work, save, and build a better life for their families. Those
workers pose no threat to national security.

Yes, the quotation marks are there in the original. And, yes, the rest of it is just as bad if not worse.

(For those just joining us, allowing a foreign country which used to own part of our country to resettle its old territory is a really bad idea. In addition, massive immigration from one country leads to more power for racial ideologues. I'm sure there are some libertarians who would consider that a clear "threat to national security."

They manage to combine a marxist pretense that those arbitrarily defined as workers can do no wrong, with an anarcholibertarian hostility to law and sovereignty. For someone who wants freedom for aggression, undefended borders are as important as emptying the prisons. These think tankers imagine that they are being so clever, anticipating characterizations of their approach as racism, that they have positions set out,where they can say, but look, look, we like illegal aliens, we love the little brown people and are crying for more. That proves they're not racist, or perhaps the opposite?
