Time to put up or shut up. Show me. If I do it constantly, it should be easy. Otherwise, you mistake opposition to your statism as advocating open borders. Typical statist response - “disagree with me and you must be an anarchist”
Oh, so it's only illegal immigration that you have a problem with... So, we should just make it much, much easier to immigrate legally, then, right? I mean, that'd solve your problem with it.
I'm saying it's pretty damned ironic for someone who purportedly believes in liberty to want to have agents of the government forcibly violate the liberty of people because you think THEY are the ones who don't believe in liberty!
If you really cared about the "vast hordes of people who don't believe in liberty", you wouldn't have to look outside the borders - they are all around you. They are you!
It's a strange distinction to draw between the undesirables born within the government's lines and those born outside them.
Are we able to get these same tests for people born here and export them if they fail?? Perhaps America will finally fix our trade deficit!
Call it what you want... I'd have more than a little problem if the federal government was on my property without my consent whether they called it "quartering" or "patrolling". You still have the same problem with your premise and it is decisively anti-liberty.
But forget all that... The most basic question one has to ask is who you fear more? Are you more concerned about a foreign invasion or transgressions by your own government? That's an easy one for me. I've never been directly harmed by an immigrant, but your government violates the liberty of its citizens regularly all in the name of "security".
I could find more but this is enough, it is really foolish of you to pretend you aren't part of the open borders mafia around here.
