Lew Rockwell should rethink immigration
Libertarian icon Lew Rockwell - purported ghostwriter of some of the Ron Paul newsletters - supposedly spoke about his views on immigration on a radio program of some kind: bkmarcus.com/blog/2006/01/lew-rockwell-on-immigration.html I'm going to assume that the transcript is accurate and that those reflect his current views on the matter, but he might have other views or he might have changed his mind since then. In any case:
1. Rockwell discusses intentional demographic change beginning in 1965 (thanks to Teddy Kennedy), but forgot to discuss the fact that massive immigration = political power. And, that means more power for the far-left and the Mexican government. Neither of those are libertarian, yet Rockwell and most other "libertarians" would... give them more political power.
2. The vast majority of Americans will always oppose illegal immigration and/or massive immigration. By encouraging those, "libertarians" encourage a crackdown, leading to support for more government intervention. If libertarians instead opposed illegal activity and supported our completely rational laws, there would be less government intervention, not more.
3. Perhaps Rockwell could tell us how we could do mass deportations if we absolutely, positively had to. If "libertarians" try to think that through, they'll see that we've been invaded and settled, something that the Constitution says we should be defended against.
Rockwell and most other "libertarians" really need to think this subject through in more depth.

This is not really about Illegal or legal immigration its about control by a few people who just don't get what can happen or maybe do? its about massive control and a slow holocaust of a people and of a real ideals of freedom. Lets face facts if we look at Mexico and South America we see a people who have never been able to make a just civilization or a nation under laws that are some what enlighten. That is not to say we have made good laws but we as a people have made some laws that allow us all to live with our government up to this point, we do tolerate and agree with some parts of our order of government as long as that government can work with us as a people. But now we see our government working against us as a people and as a idea of freedom and duty and laws, we as a people must now remove that government for our own national survival or we will all pay for not being real Americans and will become nothing but a third world people with no hope and no life. In other words its up to you what do you want? life or death under the third world rulers? and hate to say a crackdown will happen but within 10 years with 100 million third world people here after amnesty that crackdown will happen on you and not the Army of our enemies that will own your government. Life or Death?
