Pandagon isn't just the place where Amanda Marcotte fights the g****** patriarchy. It's a group blog, and another poster there, one Chris Clarke (see his first post for his bio), offers "Trashing the border". I don't know if he's a libertarian or just a delete-the-border type, but he's as loony as either:

Let me say this up front to piss off the Malkinites: I'm an open borders advocate. I think that as long as capital is allowed to cross borders freely, people ought to as well.

And, let me say this up front: I appreciate him saving me having to read the rest. So, a quick scan of the rest of the post and the comments, and I left the following comment earlier today. I received the message that it was awaiting moderation, but for one reason or another it hasn't shown up. Now, certainly, some people don't bother to check comments awaiting moderation and there are occasionally technical glitches. So, as a public service to the Pandagon Community, I'll post it here and try to send a trackback:

Did I stumble upon a libertarian blog by mistake?

Sirkowski says: "Why not do like Europe and have an American Union?"

President Bush - in addition to being a strong supporter of massive immigration - is actually working on that plan. Look into the North American Union. There's even a precursor website: spp.gov

Richard: the proposal is to build the fence on the border over which millions of people have come.

Patrick Nielsen Hayden mentions Humane Borders, without disclosing that they are or were collaborating with the Mexican Government.

As for the post:

1. All those who support or enable illegal immigration are partly responsible for those border deaths. Those include useful idiot "liberals", business interests, racial interests, the Democratic and Republican parties, including, of course, this site's friend President Bush.

2. The idea that we can have open borders is extraordinarily ahistoric and childish. Stronger countries would not hesitate to take advantage of it, just as Mexico is currently taking advantage of political corruption and useful idiots in the U.S. in order to make money off their excess population. With open borders, Mexico, China and any other country could send us millions of their citizens and obtain a great deal of political power inside the U.S., almost certainly in changing the political structure of the U.S. to match what those countries want.

No one who supports open borders should be taken seriously.
