I don't disagree.
^he got my point.
If you're standing on the same side of TPTB, even for different reasons, does it really matter how noble your intentions are if the outcome is the same?
I firmly believe TPTB DO NOT want this wall, or anything that will cut off the flow of reinforcements for their cause. If their master plan is to build a giant cage to box us all in, they are WELL within their capabilities to do so and would have done so by now. If that's the plan, they're surely dragging their g-d damned feet about it—so I cannot, at this point, believe that is the end-game.
Now, libertarians do not want this wall, for libertarian reasons, though, that doesn't really matter in the end. TPTB welcome your support all the same.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Course, in the past they've always voted to increase their welfare benefits.
But that was the lack of the wall, I suppose; "I hate socialism, but, then again, there's no wall. Socialism it is!"
Yessir, build that wall and the welfare state shall crumble.

If the wall does get built and all the immigrants do get deported, the silver lining will be watching the reaction from you people when essentially nothing changes and the welfare state (and every other aspect of the state) keeps growing (nevermind the part you'd have to have already grown to accomplish your glorious reforms), but then again I suppose you'd find some new excuse. Witches perhaps.
Getting to shove reality down your throat will be almost as glorious as the reforms we will enact once the communist invaders are removed but even if we don't move things backward we will stop them from going full retard commie like Mao's china, on the other hand it would almost be worth letting it happen in order to get to watch you twist and squirm trying to claim it would have happened anyway as the barbarians began the round ups and death camps.

This thread is still active...lol....it's hard to imagine a socialist wall built by corporate fascists generates any support at all from a "Liberty" forum.

It doesn't. Those supporting such direct opposition to Ron Paul is simply astroturf, created by a small handful of propagandists and their sock puppets that have driven off most of the genuine Ron Paul supporters here. They even openly admit their agenda of force feeding this place, and how much they enjoy what they are paid to do:
It's all about force for them, just about everything they say is about power and forcing someone to do something.Getting to shove reality down your throat will be almost as glorious
They even know how barbaric trump's policies of mass arrests and concentration camps for immigrants are, but they continue to shyll for their Authoritarian Idol, and outright refuse to denounce him. Instead they will simply attempt to paint anyone who opposes them as "socialists", which is nothing less than continuing to oppose and attack Ron Paul.barbarians began the round ups and death camps

I'm all for cutting any handout at any time (for reasons unrelated to immigration).
My point though is that the welfare state will keep growing regardless of immigration policy.
As I was saying to SS earlier, you fellows will learn this hard lesson if you ever manage to get the immigration restrictions you desire.
Most come to work. I'm not sure how easy it is for foreigners to immigrate to and work in Mexico. I've heard it's more difficult. And I'm not sure how desirable that is compared to coming to America. But at least a considerable number of people consider America the preferable option.
Eliminating welfare programs would do little to decrease incentive to immigrate here. In fact, I would expect the resulting economic boom to have the exact opposite effect.
For most it's not doable over any time frame, which is why they don't.
Would you support changing the law to lift limits on the numbers of people who can immigrate here from any country so that it would be possible for them to come legally?
Also, I'm not sure why you referred to "naturalized" immigrants or to learning English. Neither naturalization nor language have any relevance to the discussion up to this point.
A very good question. Most of them do learn english, or at least try to. Living in an immigrant community, I see this everywhere. Many will apologize to me for their english not being perfect (or even good), or for not knowing a particular word for what they are trying to say. As a typical example, I was once introduced by someone I know to a group of their coworkers. I greeted them all in spanish, their eyes suddenly got real wide, and one of them asked if I spoke spanish. My response was "a little, and I want to learn". The conversation immediately switched from spanish to english, with each and every one of them talking about how they are also attempting to learn to speak english as a second language. They know very well that they will get further and be more successful in our country if they can speak english. Of course, in some places, it is possible to live your entire life without knowing a word of english (I can go about my everyday life for days, without hearing a word of english spoken, where I live), and there will always be some who don't bother to make the effort, these people are a small minority.
Our broken immigration system has made it all but impossible to follow the law. When faced with wait times measured in years, being tracked and spied on, and being subjected to biometrics, our laws have made it much easier to simply hop the border or overstay a visa, and simply disappear into an immigrant community where it is easy to find work off the books for cash, and a "papers, please" mentality simply doesn't exist. The system is in desparate need of reform, and that is exactly one of the things that Ron Paul campaigned on, he understood that to eliminate illegal immigration, it needs to be made easier for anyone to come here to work and contribute to the economy, without immediately extending the benefits of citizenship. When the laws provide more incentive to break than obey them, it's no wonder that people will choose to break them.

Illegal immigrants don't get "frees stuff" from the Federal Government (some states may offer them some benefits). They aren't eligible for any Federal aid programs like Food Stamps (SNAP), Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. Legal immigrants aren't eligible until after they are in the country for at least five years. They want jobs.
Ironically, tightening our border led to more illegal immigrants in the country. Workers used to come, work for a few months, and go home with the money they earned to their families. As crossing became more difficult, they quit going home (as often if at all) so they could continue to work. When they missed their families, they tried to bring them up here with them.
