No amnesty! Ron Paul is for legal immigration. We can't afford our current path. Evading Taxes? Using a fake SS number, without caring if it is already someone's SS number, creating problems for US citizens? Forcing immigrants to have to sneak in and do everything illegally before being forgiven? No amnesty! Amnesty supports having to break laws in order to become a citizen.

[stefbot]

N o amnesty? So I assume that you are for the prosecution of all politicians for the theft of people's money through taxation?

[ProjektLament]

The aggression principle is not limited to physical violence.  The aggression principle can be viewed economically. When hospitals have to shut down because they illegals use the ER for a physician office it is an act of economic aggression. When they send billions of US dollars earned here to foreign markets it is an economic aggression that harms the Legal American people as a whole. There is no contradiction here, your argument is refuted. Next point.

But my friend Stefan, isn't non-documented immigration, with its miasma of counterfeiting and subterfuge, at the very least, fraud, if not economic aggression?

[ElectricEntertaiment]

How can we be free? I have hope but am skeptical. Why do nothing as far as voting for him, aren't we slaves regardless, what would be the harm, considering the alternative which is really just giving up and accepting slavery?

What about trespassing or sovereignty? You're asking for a Libertarian ideal on a statist framework.

[LuathHans]

Actually, moving can be seen as a form of initiation o violence if seen as trespassing in somebody's territory. Its simple to understand. For example, if a stranger enters your personal bubble without first asking or warning, it will be perceived instinctively as a threat.Same thing if you wake up one morning to find somebody you dont know in your kitchen.

@funkysnarf But aren't non-immigrants violating the non-aggression principle just as much? Why is it worthy of punishment to take these subsidies from taxpayers after moving here but not worthy of punishment to do it after being born here?

[boghdan2000]

really makes you think....my idea is to abandon this country and form a new community somewhere were everybody would have this filosophy, therefore a bit of isolationism...i know...it must be somewhere really far so the corrupted ideologies of government ca;t reach us... i al all ears to your proposals.

[goldsmithstudent]

Stef, You keep making it about the person and not the idea. Its the idea that ron paul represents thats attractive. The message man not the messenger!

[imposteryau]

Stef, please interview RP!

[adrenalinejunkie2008]

In principle you sound logical.Now in my opinion, in the idea of personal freedom,I think we share the same common goals but my question to you is this. Is the massage of spreading freedom best delivered and most effective under a Ron Paul Government with Political leaders of like minded principles or under a Obama's, Reagan's or Bushes' political elites in power?

Ron Paul has done a lot of good for the freedom movement.You may not agree,but having the biggest bull horn in the country does work

[deathSSghost]

who was the last libertarian president? ill read ur books if you wanna send them my way. i just feel like im missing something that maybe ur books will explain better. ron paul is more of an anti-federalist, one of the first political parties in america.
