    Okay...

    You are aware that Americans also negligently run people over with motor vehicles? What do you propose be done about that? If "some immigrants run people over, therefore deport them" is sound, then "some Americans run people over, therefore deport them" must be too, no?

    If Bob-born-in-the-USA had been deported, the person he killed would still be alive.

    So, why shouldn't Bob have been deported?

    She was deported afterwards, why did they deport her afterwards?

    Who's she? I don't know what you mean.

    ...in case there was any confusion, Bob-born-in-the-USA identifies as a dude (as opposed to, say, a female penguin).

    What's your point?

    Some takes from the debate:


    Wellman's position - pro-closed borders:

    Advocates "self determination" starts and ends with the state.

    Global justice is more important than freedom of association.

    Wealthy countries should be doing more for global justice.

    Advocates duties of distributed justice.

    Should transfer money and resources elsewhere.

    Refugees have the right to refuge but not become members of a society.

    Everybody is consented to the government.

    ___________________


    Caplan's position - open borders:

    Advocates freedom to associate if you want to, freedom to not associate if you do not want to.

    Caplan asked Wellman multiple times: why do you always side with the government?. Wellman would not provide a clear-cut answer. Wellman went on to say yes there is a cost to self-determination. It is important for "groups" to make decisions. But if you want to associate with somebody over dinner, it is ok.

    Caplan wants to hire somebody to work. Wellman is concerned that Caplan would invite everybody from the country. Wellman states that discretion to the individual would have profound implications to the group as a whole. Wellman tells Caplan that Caplan "is absolutely right" but still disagrees with Caplan.

    Wellman: The U.S. has a duty to transfer wealth.

    Caplan: Why can't somebody take a job from an employer willing to hire them?

    Wellman: It will have implications for the group.

    Caplan: You're appealing to grossly impoverishing them. Your argument is not relevant.

    Wellman: You're getting away from immigration.

    Caplan: It is directly related to immigration.

    Wellman: It's more realistic that the U.S. "help" other countries than to open the borders.

    Caplan: Governments are not voluntary organizations; they restrict people from association.

    So, @nikcers, any thoughts on why the law deports Jose the car killer, but not Bob the car killer?

    What's the difference?

    One is an American citizen one isn't an American citizen. Citizenship means something, American culture matters.

    Right, it has nothing to do with running people over with a car

    If it did, that would apply to everyone; but you don't apply it to everyone.

    Jose runs somebody over, deportation!

    Bob runs somebody over, ...

    It's entirely about where Bob and Jose were born.

    For an ideology (libertarianism) which is about individual rights, tell me why an individual who happens to be born elsewhere should have no rights.

    "Well, Mr. Knickers, if I put you in a cage that would be a crime, don't you think?

    Wait, you were born on a different latitude...?

    Nevermind, now I can cage you with a good conscience; you were born at a certain latitude and therefore have no rights."

    ...does that make sense?

    No it matters if they are a citizen thats why i said it that way.

    And why's that?

    People who happen to have been born in a particular place have rights.

    ...and the rest are just, yuck, like not even people; they exist to be used and abused by others.

    Is that the idea?

    If another country attacks a country that isn't America should we be involved? They are people born in another place so I guess by your standards we should.

    How about this radical idea; human beings have rights; aggression against human beings is wrong.

    ...I thought that was the whole purpose of libertarianism: silly me.

    I guess I missed the asterisk in Rothbard:

    *the rights above expressed apply only to people born within an arbitrary geographical radius of where you, the reader, were born

    Terror attack in south Africa. We better get inovlved. China taking over African continent, we better go to war and get involved.
    We better remember what it is we're trying to do in the first place.

    We aren't trying to erase the American culture by letting everying who wants to come here come here. That wasn't ever something Ron Paul or Rand Paul advocated for. Most peopple wouldn't even come here if the immigration reform policies Ron Paul has advocated for were passed.

    That sounds a lot like:

    The neighbors don't favor the colour I painted my house, therefore they have the right to force me to paint it othwerwise.

    ...No, they don't, $#@! them, property rights disregarding bolshevik scum.

    You just don't care about the constitution I get it. Naturalization doesn't mean anything because $#@! America and you are racist for wanting America to be America.
