    Either you are unable to think outside textbook or college professor conditioning or are part of the scam to ensure such a society never comes to fruition in the US. I am thinking the later since no where did I say these people came here to conquer. I clearly said it was the goal of globalist establishment to eradicate any potential of a more libertarian like society in the US.

    Evidently you chose to assist them in that role by supporting open borders policies which clearly deny our ability to live and grow such a society here.

    Historically people have migrated seeking wealth and they bring their ideology with them, in modern times that ideology is overwhelmingly one that seeks to use the government to take the wealth they seek from those who created it, they do not understand or care how the wealth was created through liberty and only seek to consume.

    The people that truly believe in achieving a more libertarian society in the US need to take over the LP. Otherwise it is just another tool of the globalist establishment to promote open borders to deny us a more libertarian like society in the US.
    Their bizarre interpretation of 'freedom' likely includes the banning of all firearms, cradle to grave government provided medical care, regulated climate restrictions, government income assistance as well as government paid tuition. These are predominately low educated socialists desperate for a better life at someone else's expense. Not exactly a deviation from your average human. But you have to be an idiot or dyed in the wool ideologue to fall for this refugee ploy.

    Dunno if true but I just read a thread elsewhere that Judge Jeanine floated the trial balloon that biometric IDs and human chipping start with immigrants, instead of a wall. The real agenda always comes out eventually.

    If the ideas are outside of the “mainstream”, would these positions bring in any new voters or money?

    Guns would fit in with principles, but the NRA sucks that niche pretty dry. Pro-2A might be a good position to bring in conservatives, and immigration/borders might bring in even more. The rub would be many conservatives have a blinding love of the MIC and intervention. That alone means they will not join libertarians, unless their minds on intervention and the MIC can be changed. “No more policing the world” caught a lot of traction, but the neocons have subverted that again.

    Seems that immigration and open borders is pretty popular with a lot of people, including a good portion of libertarians. It will bring in (corporatist) money, which is why most beltway libertarian groups support more immigration. Once again, it is the Democrats niche right now, and they throw in free stuff. That free stuff is a killer, and socialists despise libertarians for opposing it on principle. The LP will not bring over Democrat voters based on immigration and border policy without the free stuff. Thus the only reason for the LP to stand on this issue is either principle or money. When it comes to an organization, I’d wager it’s about the money.

    It is a fact that immigration in order to increase support and power has been the strategy of the Democrat Party for decades. The same way that giving away free stuff was before that. It is a conscience and intentional deception by the Democrat elite. It is working, and it can not be denied.

    Businesses (and GOP) want cheap and pliable labor. Democrats want voters and new people who will depend upon them and government for support. Many people want to bring over more of their family or what they think of as “their people”. Others with vested interests consider themselves global in nature. Religious and political groups are the biggest in that category. Religions don’t want borders that will hinder the expansion of their religion. They believe that new immigrants are ripe for conversion, especially if they are aided in their immigration. Political ideologies, like religious ones, also want to convert, and being global in nature, they often want to convert foreign lands to their ideology, often by force.

    Look to the hidden agenda...

    My suggestion assumes that there is still a "Silent Majority Plurality Significant Fraction" that doesn't have a party that represents their beliefs and that many of them come out to support Trump and if the LP adopted the positions that nobody else will they could get their support. (especially if they made the kind of alliance with Trump that Rand has)

    I suggest and support Legalizing Immigration to eliminate illegal immigration.

    problem solved as simple as that..
    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.

    I agree, and it is as simple as that, for one half of the Free Market equation. The challenging part is to convince the "let's-pretend-we-are-republicans" and half of the so-called "liberty" folks who have lost their way to ground swell shout and demand End Any/All Incentives.

    It seems that the Wall is an ever so popular idea to transfer Private Property over to the Fed - 2,000 miles of Texan land. Trump excels in this area as he has been an unwavering and devout proponent of Eminent Domain most of his business life.

    It truly does baffle me how gullible people are, especially after the repeal the 4th Amendment Act (Patriot Act) that Bush shoved down our throats.

    Now there is discussion of 1,100 miles of Property along the entire West Coast. Not to mention USMCA which contains "sustainable development".

    The globalist can't snicker enough at stupid people.

    AF,, the people who have brought and instilled Socialism in this country are long dead,, and it is firmly established..

    They were not "Foreigners" but established Businessmen,, and Bankers and the "Intelligentsia" of High Society.

    This fantasy that Mexicans are taking over the country is delusional at best.

    I simply refuse to play along with the deception.

    You have a point, when I read or hear or watch the loudest proponents of white displacement/disenfranchisement/dispossession it's usually a lily white, loud mouthed Marxist.

    That said, importing millions of people that are ambivalent at best, sympathetic at worst, of that cause does not bode well for limited government, property rights and liberty for the future of my posterity.

    End all immigration for at least ten years and give all of some breathing room to sort this out.

    Or separate, which at this point is probably the best solution.

    If it was not for Fox News shutting out Ron Paul in the first NH debate in 2008 he may have gone on to win the nomination. McCain was broke and polling low and should have never been in that debate. But do you remember part of the reason why Ron led in fund raising and straw polls in 2007? It was his strong stance on illegal immigration and his language/policies was to the right of Trump.

    We all remember what happened to Ron when he tried to run again in 2012 but that time backing away from his policies on illegal immigration.

    All true. But the foreigners will be the closers for the fulfillment of the said experiment. Closing the door on us PERMANENTLY. There will be no pockets of resistance or regional fight. That is what these people will be used for. To permanently tip the scales in such a dramatic fashion, so we can never see secession or some type of reckoning with our oppressors.

    Demographic subterfuge because ((THEY)) know closing down on us permanently with conventional means will prove VERY COSTLY. Yes, we live in a Communist country at moment, but 40% of the population still poses a major thorn in the side for the TPTB. Society is hanging by a thread, especially when you see how fragile the resource and delivery systems are.

    Good point. Why did Fox News exclude Ron Paul given his super strong 5th place performance in one of his strongest states (Iowa) ??

    Good point. We should focus our immediate current efforts on limiting immigration, so that at a later date many many years in the future it may be possible to do some kind of secession maybe.

    Because we have our priorities totally in order

    The federal government as we know it is on borrowed time. At some point, states will cut the cord because it will be too expensive to conduct business as usual. Eventually, the battered spouse leaves, especially when the benefits become liabilities.

    Well then, let's just make sure that wall gets built before that happens.

    It would be such a tragedy if Texas has to pay for the wall out of state coffers instead of federal ones.

    Yes. The wall needs to get built, especially since the Mexicans & OTMs can't read history books. 1865 may as well be a rare tequila to them.
    They have no concept of what is transpiring or perhaps never will.

    Actual dumber, less intellectually curious people than Boobus. That's saying something. LaReconquistaed by a bunch of fools. Put that on our tombstone if we are this gullible. Given the demographic trends, I bet book reading will be outlawed in 25 years.
