But the Libertarian Party is even more Pro-Open Borders than Karl Rove.
I see nothing wrong with Mr. Rove's statement. While politically incorrect, and a bit in your face, it's trues.
I speak fluent Spanish. I've lived in Mexico for years, and have had numerous Mexican girlfriends.
Fact is: THEY ARE MORE ADEPT AT CERTAIN JOBS THAN WE AMERICANS ARE!
My mechanic is Mexican. He's utterly amazing. I challenge you to find a white guy or black guy that could do a better job at fixing an engine.
There's nothing wrong with the notion that certain people from certain regions of the world are more adept at doing certain functions than others.
Again, this is horribly incorrect, but ABSOLUTELY TRUE! White guys can't jump!
What's the percentage of NBA players who are white? 30%?
What's the percentage of NBA players who are Hispanic? 0%?
Through hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution Africans have developed superior skills than us white Euro-Americans. One of which is the ability to leap in the air.
In the end we are all equal. But we are different in many regards.
I suggest you read some Richard Leakey, Jane Gooddall or other Evolutionists.

Yes, the Libertarian Party is for infettered immigration but, it is also for severe restrictions on government handouts. I would argue that the illegal influx would dwindle to about 10% of what it is now if all welfare available to illegals were cut off...including undocumented employment.
The Libertarians' advocacy of open borders assumes naively that those who are immigrating, are doing so for the purposes of not only working but contributing to the economy as well, not remitting millions back to Mexico, and to pay in taxes more than they receive in government handouts.
That's not the current case.

[Image]Some misguided readers of this blog have accused me of being a mindless, neo-conservative, Bush-bot. Rather than arguing, yet again, with the usual points, I offer this ridiculous and telling statement from Karl Rove as illustrative of why I can't stomach Bush, Rove, neo-conservatism, and the idiotic idea of compassionate conservatism...
According to a congressman's wife who attended a Republican women's luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president's amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas."
Thanks a lot Karl. In one stupid statement, you've validated Bush's phony idea that there are jobs that Americans won't do, and confirmed to liberals that conservatives are all rich, white snobs like you. Of course nobody aspires for their children to make careers of tomato picking or Vegas bed-making but, the idea that any honest job is beneath any American flies in the face of everything that made this country the greatest Republic on Earth...hard, honest work, responsibility, diligence, pride in effort, character and value in manual labor.
I've tried to instill in my kids that even honest employment refilling condom machines at the interstate truckstop is preferable to sitting on one's butt, receiving checks from the government. There is nothing shameful about working for a wage, I don't care what you are doing. There is only shame in shiftless loafing. All jobs have value to those who perform them, no matter how unpleasant or beneath us they seem.
Rove's snooty statement infuriates me, and it clarifies the differences between the current crop of elitist-minded Republicans and my own ideals. It also demonstrates why the Bush administration will not defend this country against foreign invaders...they and their silver-spoon, lucky sperm-club offspring are too good to pick tomatoes or work in a domestic capacity...UNBELIEVABLE!
Unless one of the current pack of elitist, mainstream Republicans separates himself by promising to close the southern border, I will certainly vote Libertarian or not vote for President at all.
