"The Math on Deportation Doesn't Add Up"

facepalm

This is not in any way the point.

First, I don't believe libertarians on this issue, because they're ideologically against immigration restrictions.

Second, it isn't the point anyway. No one is against mass illegal immigration because they think it's economically bad, and no one's against it for economic reasons.

The point is: no borders, no country. No enforcement, no borders.

Immigration is at least fine and to some extent good when it's measured and controlled. An uncontrolled border means the end of the USA.

The leftist strategy--aided and abetted by libertarians--is, basically: we can let people in faster than you can kick them out. A slight variation: we can let people in faster than you can afford to kick them out.

If having a nation costs us money--as we already know it does--then so be it.

This "Reason" argument is rather like: defending the USA requires a massive military budget...so we should just give up on that.
