Why are you externalizing the negative costs on me so you can get cheap labor? I thought libertardians were against force and fraud, both of which you are participaing in against me.

Ask a Native American how well unrestricted immigration worked out for them.

There are “jobs Americans won’t do” and then there are “jobs there aren’t enough young Americans to do”.

Also, if I can find somebody from Mexico willing to do a job for me cheaper than somebody from America will do it while providing similar or superior quality, there needs to be a relatively hassle free way for me to facilitate that.

Also, there this: If you read the official Libertarian Party platform on immigration, compare it to the official Republican Party platform on immigration, remove the rhetorical flourishes… there aren’t a ton of differences and mostof the ones that exist could probably get significant support from the other side. It’s just a matter of which rhetorical flourish you’d rather have jerking you off.
