I’ve posted a sequel to my original article on immigration:
Immigration II: Electric Boogaloo
My argument is that even if we accept Hoppe’s rights argument, his conclusion still violates libertarian principles.
And I’ll say it again: RECRUIT ILLEGAL ALIEN! Thank you for your time. [H]
You’re still under the delusion that open borders is not a government institution.
This is like saying “You are still under the delusion that open marijuana use is not a government institution.”
It would be if government allowed marijuana use in public against taxpayers’ will.
Define “public”. Is a Cyprus Hill concert “public”?
On public property.
If public property is your concern would you be upset if I hired an illegal immigrant form Lichtenstein to clean my house?
You can hire anyone to do anything you want in your house, so long as they don’t enter public property.
I hope you have a teleportation machine.
I have an automobile. Their feet need not touch the asphalt. This is obviously a concern of yours because the asphalt will magically crumble if it is touched by an illegal immigrant from Lichtenstein.
You’re going to drive them back and forth to Lichtenstein every day?
This is ridiculous…
No, to their apartment in the Lichtensteinian barrio.
What makes you think that you and your little nationalist gang have the right to dictate how stolen property can be used ?
There’s no such thing as a Lichtenstein ghetto. Open borders gives them the right to live anywhere they want, in any community they want, and there’s nothing you or I can do about it.
Because it was stolen from us.
Of course. But anti-immigration people are not concerned with libertarian principles. What they want is racial purity. An objection like “enforcing borders means shooting people” carries no weight with them, since they can always claim that (paid) usage of public roads is a violation of the NAP and trespassers can be shot.
Government “public property”=STOLEN PROPERTY!
Too bad there are taxpayers that also own it and don’t want to restrict immigration. What are you going to do ? Vote ? Remember, you belong to the hoppe cult ; democracy bad. monarchy god. democracy bad. I hope you’re not going to advocate majority rule ?
Right, and we want it back.
People often choose to live in close proximity for cultural reasons. I live in a city in with a fairly good sized Amish population (no joke here) and all of these Amish people were born in the . They choose to live together for cultural reasons and to preserve their language, culture etc.
Some of that money was stolen from me and I choose to use my portion to help transport an illegal immigrant from Lichtenstein.
