John Hospers is being anything but rational and anything but libertarian.
He suggested people vote for bush, he supports the war in Iraq, and now once again, his stanse is on the opposite side of an issue from from what is consistent libertarianism. John Hospers doesn't make libertarian arguments. Perhaps he once did, but his senile, foolish, and extremely unlibertarian actions have robbed him of having even the slightest bit of credibility. LIBERTARIANS SUPPORT OPEN BORDERS. We should be offering our support and doing it vocally. I fully intend to do this in my campaign, especially since my district is 47% Hispanic. This is most certainly not an "invasion" anymore than the 1.5 million Irish (A higher percentage of the total population at the time than Mexicans now) were an invasion, or the Italians, or the Polish, or the Germans, or the Dutch, or the Chinese, etc. All of them were called "invaders" by people being paranoid who feared competition back then, just as the Mexicans are being called now. The Mexican illegal aliens are absolutely no different than the European immigrants who came here during the Industrial Revolution. The only difference is the unconstitutional immigration laws we have now. When most of our ancestors immigrated here, they merely had to get on a boat, show up, and sign their names on a piece of paper. This is all that the Mexican immigrants should have to do. --- In [email protected], "David Macko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Since last week's demonstrations my last doubts that > there is no immigration problem have ended.
