For the sake of a good argument, I take the following position on immigration.

The federal government should not have the authority to declare individuals within its jurisdiction as non-citizens.

Some of these people coming across the border want to work. We shouldn't obstruct them or give them any conditions other than respecting the life, liberty, and property of others.

Enforcing immigration law obstructs justice. If an alien murders a citizen, immigration law says we have to deport the alien instead of putting him in an electric chair. What good is that?

Furthermore, the choir I hear condemns illegal immigrants. Here are the major complaints:

1.  They're not paying taxes.
2.  They're stealing jobs.
3.  They're overrunning America's health care and welfare systems.
4.  They're causing crime.
5.  They're overpopulating the prisons.

Here are my rebuttals.

1.  Deficit spending is an indirect tax on everyone possessing Federal Reserve Notes because the consequent inflation reduces their buying power.

2.  Go to college.

3, 4, and 5.  So do Americans.

In summary, regulated borders inhibit the free market, obstruct the justice system, restrict population growth, and are a financial liability. Want my vote? Plan some better policies. If I'm going to get liberalism, I'm going to vote Democrat.
