“They want government to have control over who can enter the country”
…who else should have that power if not the government?
The Pope? The Mormon Prophet? Some random guns obsessed white supremacist patrolling the border and “hunting illegals” as a hobby? Who should decide who’s allowed to enter a modern country’s borders?
@potatomuncher no one is the Libertarian position.
How’s that supposed to work in the current framework?
@potatomuncher who is going to pick the cotton?
Why are all libertarians a product of incest?
what are you talking about?
I was answering a stupid question with a stupid question…
who is going to pick the cotton?
Is a phrase that originated during the fight for abolition of chattel slavery in the mid-19th century in the USA. Southerners would argue that they couldn’t abolish slavery because it was needed to pick the cotton.
Since then it has been used rhetorically to show people how dumb their argument is. It doesn’t matter who picks the cotton, its immoral to keep humans as property, the market found a way. The same is true with using an imaginary line to control people.
I mean the same way people go from Nevada to Arizona
Dissolve all national borders or something?
no, there is a border between Nevada and Arizona. Each has their own laws etc.
State borders aren’t the same thing as national borders.
there is no reason why that needs to be the case. France and Spain are States.
