Heard John Stossle on FOXNews tonight on O'Reilly, say he is a Libertarian doesn't think the Government should be spending money for National Guard protection there....he thinks these people will come in no matter what we do...so just open the borders...



I don't have too much of a problem with that view in its purest form. Except for the drugs and potential terrorists. If we took the incentives away that bring the illegals, the problem would be much more manageable.

No free education, no welfare of any kind, no driver's license, no more free medical, convict illegals of tax evasion just like we do with american citizens.

There will still be those who want to move here, but they wouldn't be the freeloaders, they would be productive members of society.

But, since we would never deny an entitlement program to an illegal alien, we have to beef up the border security.

I am a libertarian and usually agree with Stossel on most issues. But in this instance, I'm with you and O'Reilly.

If our border with Mexico is not secured, the problems with dealing with illegals will only get worse. I shudder to think of what will happen when Mexico's oil export revenues disappear, which they will in just a few short years.

Expect a fresh flood of illegals when that happens, with the concurrent crime, the drugs, the drain on taxpayer funds...
