The rest of our present problem is a welfare one. Otherwise, immigrants are an asset. Not entirely accurate. Some immigrants are great, and some certainly aren't. The problem in California is at least two-fold. The sheer number of immigrants requires a large increase in infrastructure and social services. If it weren't for immigrants, California's population would actually have decreased over the last decade. Instead, it's increased to the point where we have to build one school a day to keep up. California is also experiencing something more like colonization instead of immigration. English is being displaced as the common language of America. Mexico has enacted a dual citizenship, and its politicians openly speak of their influence on American elections by means of their large expatriate populace voting in the US. Libertarian indifference to borders ignores national and cultural interests, and is a recipe for trouble.
