Region: Libertatem
Even if Trump has harboured "liberal" sympathies in the past, and even if he still does, if he signs healthcare and tax reform and liberalises gun laws, it won't matter! Remember that Reagan was in favour of some gun controls but actually relaxed gun laws during his presidency. Action matters.

Also lads, what do you guys think of my flag change? I decided to move away from the black-white-red tricolor and move onto something more unique.
Humpheria, Rateria
It's okay, but I'd probably rearrange the colors a bit or make it a French-style tricolor. Horizontal, I guess.
I'm much more a fan of the horizontal tricolors. Those are better imo

"I humbly ask the people of Libertatem to vote for me once again. As Speaker of the Senate and Senator, I and the Senate have accomplished numerous things, both in my current term and since I started two months ago."
-Five constitutional amendments that have reformed the Senate and executive branch, given the people the ability to recall politicians and reduced the power of government
-Comprehensive reform of the judicial system and creation of juries
-Enactment of Senate rules that have brought respect and esteem to the chamber
-A permanent voting record and public log for Senators
-Stronger alliances and friendships with the COFN, Islam and The Radiant
-Support for a defense build-up that's making our military proud again
-Blocked the passage of new welfare programs such as the TEACH Act and EPIC Act
-Exposure of the Reform Party's corruption
"This will be my last term of office in the Senate, as I hope to gain your vote in the presidential elections later in August. I hope to make my final term the best one yet, and carry on with the amazing progress we've had so far."
Pevvania: a reformer, a libertarian, a man of the people.

What has Roadism ever done for the people
Those people who state that morality is relative then must also agree that we have no moral obligations to help other people than ourselves.
Miencraft
(actually this would be a better critique of nihilism but whatever) If morality is relative, than it follows that no morality is superior to another my libertarian morality is essentially the same as the morality of the islamist, and the morality of the christian, and so on
While Trump's presidency has divided libertarians over matters such as immigration and security, I do believe that instead of breaking into one or other side, we should come up with more creative solutions that satisfy both pro- and anti- positions in the immigration debate.
Why not have corporations "sponsor" immigrants (i.e. pay for their welfare and housing while they work here?) Why not implement a universal consumption tax which would immediately abolish the argument that immigrants would get more from the system than pay in? Why not privatize the border? There are much better, and more libertarian, solutions than to build a costly wall or completely ban people from moving from one end of the border to the other.

New Nationale Einheit, The United States Of Patriots, Jadentopian Order
Well a consumption tax, if it ever happens, would be very difficult to implement politically. But I agree that there are solutions out there that can address this issue and keep both people happy. Number one the legal immigration system needs to be fixed, because no matter how many people Trump deports, the incentive to come to America to live and work will not go away.
Miencraft, Rateria
However, to the point that the wall is 'costly', we'll see, but a $20 billion investment could give a high rate of return if it curbs the $100 billion+ in annual economic costs of illegal immigration.
It won't.
Republic Of Minerva, Rateria
Pev has forgotten the first rule of government: everything government controls will lead to higher costs and inefficiency over time due to diseconomies of scale. It doesn't matter if it is Trump's wall or Bernie's healthcare plan.
New Nationale Einheit, Muh Roads, Rateria
Also, isn't the main problem with illegal immigration to the US the fact that many illegal immigrants are overstaying their visas, and not so much that they're literally jumping over the border?
Miencraft
To compare migration controls to government healthcare programs is a false equivalency of the highest order. Healthcare is a merit good like education, meaning positive externalities, which are best maximised when operated by the private sector. However, borders, like the military, police and courts, are very much public goods, so even within the scope of government inefficiency are better left in the hands of the state. This fact is accepted by upwards of 90% of libertarians. I thought you were a minarchist, why would you deny this?
Miencraft, New Nationale Einheit, Venomringo
40% of illegal immigrants, yes. But nevertheless, the wall sends a powerful message: if you don't respect the laws of our country, you're gonna have a bad time.
Miencraft
Also, you support a government-controlled central bank but want open borders and illegal immigration? Huh?
A border is not a public good. How is it more efficient to build a wall and suffer from the same diseconomies of scale currently affecting the military and police? Certainly good Pev would agree that the US current military is bloated and wasteful, and we should cut it down as there is no benefit to keeping it the way it is. But a wall, which wont stop immigrants (I.e. 40% of them arrive by plane afterall) is now a good investment.
I want to solve the immigration issue in the same way as the drug issue. So no, I dont support illegal immigration. I am very much an opponent of it.
I am undecided on the central bank as far as it goes.
As of now I am stepping down as Chancellor of War. I endorse Pev
Pevvania, New Nationale Einheit, Rateria
I'll reply later on a big ass factbook on immigration. Stay tuned!
Thank you for your long service to the region. Both the offices of Chancellor and Vice President will sorely miss your leadership.

Morning
Explain - what doesn't make a border a public good? Having borders is one of the essential hallmarks of being a nation-state. It doesn't matter if it's a libertarian state or a Stalinist state, all states have borders. Absolutely, there's waste in every facet of government spending, probably including border enforcement. But I view the border wall as vital infrastructure to the nation's wellbeing, like NASA or the interstate highways. Again, that's not to say that there isn't waste in infrastructure spending - there's usually a lot of it - but in this case it looks like, from a cost-benefit analysis, the cost of the wall would be dwarfed by long-term reductions in illegal immigration and its effects on the prison system and government spending. Yes, 40% - what about the other 60%? The fact is that there are hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings every year so a strong border can stop these and deter future crossings. After they put border fencing between San Diego and Tijuana after 2006, crossings dropped by 90%. So yes, it's an investment and one that we can make work.
Miencraft, Venomringo, Fascist Dred
Look, Min, you know I'm not a nativist and many of my policy positions on immigration are the same. We need to liberalise the legal immigration system to let in more legal low-skilled and high-skilled workers, work with Mexico and Central America to make them better countries, which will stem the tide, get rid of welfare for immigrants and probably give some form of amnesty to some of the illegals already here.
However, I believe in respecting the law and I believe sending a strong message like this will stem the flow. Yes, I've seen the stats and I know that illegals do a lot for our agricultural economy and whatnot. But there are 3 million felons amongst the illegal immigrant population. 3 million. That's 1 out of 4. Is having criminals flowing across the border a good trade off for virtue signalling and minor economic benefits? I don't think so.
Build the wall, deport the bad ones, let in the good ones. That's my policy and it's fully consistent with Friedmanite thinking.
Also: I am an immigrant of many countries many times over. So I have authority on this and the difficulty of trying to move to the US :P

I read the article. Most of it is just "it's expensive". It mentions a 51 foot tall ladder to counter a 50 foot tall wall, but it offers no evidence-based critiques against this kind of policy.
Libertarians should think about border enforcement in the way we think about drug rehabilitation. Not many of us here would oppose ending the Drug War and spending more government money on treatment of addicts, right? The commonality is that they're both investments that pay off in the long run.
