I get that people here have different opinions over what is "libertarian," or what sort of governance is right and proper, but unrestricted immigration seems like it would be a problem for those who consider themselves to be libertarian, libertarianesque, anarchoid, etc., even if supporting immigration restrictions is paradoxical. The problem is that most immigrants come from cultures that have different values, and they bring their different values with them. Many of them, if given the chance to vote (since a green card opens a 3 - 5 year path to citizenship), would likely support more restrictions on free speech ("hate speech," etc.), mandatory vaccinations, more restrictions on firearms, etc. It doesn't make sense to cheerlead the importation of the very soldiers that the government will use to dilute your already weak political power.
