On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop discuss immigration. While many libertarians have adopted an absolutist open borders position on immigration, there are a number of other factors that should be considered. Ryan and Tho look at the case of small states and the issues raised by government intervention.

The world is not libertarian, mass immigration is conquest.

Crooks are not libertarian, either, yet a libertarian may defend his household with deadly force. It is conceptually similar on the national level. Freedom and strength are not mutually exclusive, quite the opposite, more freedom is more strength...
