Calling it kidnapping is disingenuous, 75-95% of the country would say they have the authority to deport people.
Also, are you implying you are an anarchist, yet for open borders? That makes no sense to me practically. If you ever think we will reduce the power of government, you have to embrace minarchism as a compromise other wise its just mental masterbation
Philosophically, yeah I do agree with completely open borders, maybe in a different timeline in the multiverse or in a post nation state future. Just like with everything else in politics, immigration is completely tainted by fiat and government control. If we didn’t have gigantic fiat fueled empires toppling foreign governments, leading to tidal waves of immigration, and funding welfare states which then give money and resources to those immigrants, then I don’t think we would even have enough immigration to be a problem. Now the UK is using immigration as their excuse to implement digital IDs. For all we know, they caused the immigration in the first place just to be able to put their authoritarian measures in place.
Right.... But considering the state currently does have authority to deport illegal immigrants, saying them doing what is in their power is inciting violence isnt really a valid argument, even if we think they're power is fake and ghey.
I am an anarchist as well, but i am basically willing to compromise on roads, a defensive military and border control simply for the fact that most are too retarded to envision a world without those things habdled by the govt, myself included. That is a pragmatic way to actually reduce the power of the state. But saying we should have open borders and no one is illegal when we have a welfare state is really dumb
These types of raids are a slippery slope to highway checkpoints, warrantless searches, searching your car or your house for illegal immigrants, demanding paperwork whether you’re a citizen or not, and just overall trampling of everyone’s rights in general. It’s only a matter of time before even the supporters of it see that. As far as I’m concerned, patrol the border and keep people out. Once they are in, they should be committing a crime in order to be detained. Otherwise, none of us have any rights.
If we know where an illegal is, they should be deported. Your argument is a slippery slope fallacy, i dont see how you can claim these actions are a slippery slope to violating the constitution
To clarify, by “once they are in” I don’t mean as soon as they run across the border lol. I just mean once they are in some city somewhere and nobody knows who they are. If the government does know who they are, then okay. But that’s not the same as blanket raiding buildings and just snatching people up.
I just think it’s the same as everything else in politics. If we aren’t ending the foreign wars, ending the drug war, and ending the fed, then what’s going to get fixed? The government is causing problems and then patching them over with bandaids, all the while increasing their control over everything.
