I couldn't care less what color anyone is, or where they come from, but when the govt is spending stolen money to advertize welfare programs, via the VOA, in Central & South American countries disrupted by US interventions, and then telling them to watch CNN to learn English, & shipping them to different states, & then bussing non citizens to the polls in order for further tip elections in favor of bigger govt so they can steal & spend more, it's pretty hard not to see that as something which should be opposed. And I don't even think elections are a solution to anything.

Obama was in some interview prior to his election, that I'm sure I will never be able to find now, but he explained that the goal was to bring people in & eventually overwhelm all of the welfare & healthcare & education systems so that everything could then be radically changed for the better. Of course his idea of "better" was universal healthcare & UBI & whatever which are just even less sustainable forms of socialism than the systems they want to overwhelm.

Notice that the same advocates of open border policies freak out when the sort of poor, uneducated people they are trying to bring in end up in their area.

Foreigners (from wherever) are an important part of any socialist revolution because the lack of shared culture makes it easy to make them believe others are hostile toward them, & it's easy to get reactions that make it marginally true. So then when socialist policies need enforcing you have people ready to force things on the opposing group. Many of the horrors of the Soviet Union were only possible because they internally sent armies from one country/culture to attack dissidents from another country/culture.

I personally have zero problem with anyone who actually comes here to work. Working in residential construction, it's very clear that people who actually come to work are very valuable. But politically speaking there are also some very nefarious things being done.

Turn off the "money" printer

Hang violent criminals

Lash property criminals

Permit/encourage armed self-defense

and then you can have open borders, because people won't want to come for either private or public crime

What's the overall AnCap position on countries and borders? One could make the argument that they're just constructs created by governments as a further system of control that require government bureaucracy and violence to enforce.

Theoretically only private borders should exist.

But so long as money is being stolen for "public projects" I'd like to see them managed at least half as well as they would be privately.

The "public" part of a public library doesn't make it a homeless shelter. And shitting in the park should be policed. People who make public places unusable should be dealt with so that the paying public can continue to use what they have paid for.

I do think that having the govt manage the borders has produced a world where they are paying all the wrong people to cross them. The real solution to that is to destroy the money printer & all political power entirely, but in the short term the socialists tend to hate policies that disrupt their plans, & I certainly don't want their plans carried out either.

Minarchists believe that all a govt should do is provide security & justice. I believe giving a force funded org power over those things is the seed that corrupts everything else, and that a voluntary market would do those things better. But so long as resources are being stolen, & govt is monopolizing things, wanting resources directed as productively as possible doesn't seem like the wrong thing to want.

The problem is that we are fast approaching some sort of anarcho tyranny (or whatever you want to call it) where security & justice are unenforceable by law. Factions within the govt are using stolen resources to actively destroy both public "services" & private property; theft is literally legal in major cities, & private property is used to house the homeless by decree (making property rights less meaningful to a whole new degree). And the govt is creating armies of economic refugees at home & outside the country, & then bribing them to help terrorize the productive people that they really want enslaved.

That said, even though I thought Trump was the lesser of two evils in both cases I also couldn't bring myself to go & vote for him because I don't want any responsibility for anything any of these evil bafoons do. And it's not lost on me that border walls are more often used for keeping people in. So when the socialists start supporting them it's probably just time to leave.
