Interesting theory. Barr is accused of taking an anti-libertarian stance on Immigration, and your defense of him is to state that YOU TOO are anti-libertarian on this issue.
To stop me, a U.S. Citizen, from inviting my foreign friends to come visit me, is definitely anti-libertarian. There is no way you can justify that. You can oppose Welfare for them, and libertarians will join you in that. --- In LibertarianEnterprise@yahoogroups.com, Boyd Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > - And today, in a truly bizarre fundraising letter, Barr played the Know-Nothing card, effectively screaming from the rooftop: "Support me -- I'm not as LIBERTARIAN as John McCain and Barack Obama on immigration.

Currently we have large numbers of individuals coming in from Mexico with intent to commit crimes, steal medical services, and steal welfare. Most of these individuals are not here to work. They are here with criminal intent. They are by and large dishonest people. This is a conclusion based upon a cursory examination of the available evidence. We cannot support the people coming across the border by way of welfare. They are not being stopped. In fact both McCain and Obama support allowing more people in so that hey can go directly onto the dole. Barr is against this. So until we can dismantle the welfare state something needs to be done. The free flow of labor is one thing, this is something different. Most of these individuals are not coming in with the intention of working, but with the intent of stealing property, welfare and medical services.
