Thread: The Tea Party versus the Anti-Illegal immigration crowd

I have proudly gone to several Tea Party rallies, and I've been an ardent supporter of the anti-illegal immigrant movement for twenty or so years. One problem is that some of the individuals in the tea party are strict Liberitarians, which means they don't mind illegal immigration so much. If the two groups could form a stronger coalition, it would be helpful when it comes time to exercise our 1st amendment rights and protest Obama and the recent district court ruling. I won't hold my breath, though.

In my area Tea Partiers and anti-illegals are one and the same.

Ask those libertarians how much liberty will they have without the Bill of Rights under the North American Union, which is being formed with the help of illegal aliens. And until libertarians are a majority in the USA, those illegals will continue getting billions in US tax paid benefits every year.

"We welcome all refugees to our country. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference. We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally."

ditto.

This militant disregard for sovereignty makes it sound like the Libertarian Party has been co-opted by global socialists.

Before reading the above comments where I would have thought genuine traditional Libertarians and the anti-illegal immigration community could work together would be in fighting to eliminate the ability of illegal aliens to access taxpayer funded/government provided benefits.

I do not grasp how someone who refers to themselves as a Libertarian could not agree that the greater harm is an "immigrant" accessing the welfare state than an "immigrant" not being able to enter the United States in the first place because one act serves to embolden the government and its relationship with the individual while the other doesn't.

What exactly does "Libertarian" mean now? Anarchy.
