The African-American Libertarian Case For The Civil Rights Act Of 1964
“Lack of a moral dimension for liberty is a libertarian Achilles heel and many wind up becoming apologists for imperiling the very freedom that they promote.”

Three and a half years' worth of Donald Trump delivering scripted speeches — the moments during which he's expected to reach peak statesmanship, to "truly become president of the United States" — about how immigrants are coming over the border to kill you. https://t.co/40sEQVqgnc
<<whispers>> a whole lot of drug smuggling and trafficking across the border depends on corrupt cbp officials. would be good to root that out if you're real concerned about that sort of thing.
This is some straight up FOOLISHNESS! Why would you do this to your child?! We should start a GoFundMe page for this child so she can change her name at 18.
“Some people said there were opportunities for Canadian [producers] to backfill in the Chinese market,”... The problem... is that it led to a surplus of U.S. farm products being sold elsewhere, which depressed global food prices. “That poses a problem for Canadian businesses...”
I tend to agree but Trump likes leverage in negotiations so don't be surprised if he links this to not notifying withdrawal from #NAFTA or to labour enforceability concessions in #USMCA.
My end of year @BNNBloomberg intvu with @JonErlichman talking about prospects for implementing #USMCA (#NAFTA 2.0) and Canada-China trade in 2019: https://t.co/N506BSAPc8
“... the bill would allow Trump to impose tariffs on [imported] products ‘if the president determines’ that either [foreign] tariff or non-tariff barriers on that product are higher than the U.S.’s.”
Of course, if someone has a record of violence, credible plans for violence, or acts violently, then Libertarians support blocking their entry, deporting, and/or prosecuting and imprisoning them, depending on the offense.
Many are fleeing extreme poverty and violence and are searching for a free and safe place to try to build their lives. We respect and admire their courage and are proud that they see the United States as a place of freedom, stability, and prosperity.
Whether they are from India or Mexico, whether they have advanced degrees or very little education, immigrants have one great thing in common: they bravely left their familiar surroundings in search of a better life.
Indeed, the United States is a country of immigrants, of all backgrounds and walks of life…some families have just been here for more generations than others. Newcomers bring great vitality to our society.
Libertarians believe that people should be able to travel freely as long as they are peaceful. We welcome immigrants who come seeking a better life. The vast majority of immigrants are very peaceful and highly productive.
