If one were to aggregate all of the billions flushed down the toilet providing welfare, healthcare, housing, legal services, food, education, etc., for illegal aliens, it would dwarf what is being spent on foreign aid.

So then why aren't the libertarians and america-firsters railing against all of that wasted money? How much better would the US be if all those hundreds of billions were spent on americans, rebuilding the US economy, on much needed infrastructure improvements, etc.?

Why aren't libertarians standing aside the Tea Party activists to stop this criminal theft of american tax dollars so that the corporate filth and far left vermin like obama and the democratic party can benefit from the illegal alien invasion?

Libertarians are brainwashed by the liberal media and think the Tea Party is a bunch of racist rednecks and they don't want to be associated with a bunch of racist rednecks

The Libertarian party generally is against the government intervening in every area listed above. People who describe themselves as libertarians hold a wide range of views on each of them. Just like many Democrats are against gun control and many Republicans support gay marriage.

Read what the Cato Institute writes. They are a libertarian "think tank" and generally oppose most large federal programs.

As a libertarian my view is we should be protecting our borders first before we even think about foreign intervention in other countries. Our policy is insane and stupid. My view is we should have troops on the whole border where it can be crossed and it should have started back in the days of Eisenhower. I know some will say what about the cost? make it part of the agreement where all recruits { as needed} would have border duty. I think it beats and is cheaper then letting them run across the border and popping out American babies.

They are against it.

I don't know why you think they aren't.

Most libertarians are ideologues whose perception of the world is not based on actual reality, but on theory. And many of those theories are just plain wrong.

Of course you'll provide no examples of actual positions or why they are wrong.

Please, so tell me which ideology is based on "reality"???

All ideology is inherently flawed....somebody always has to lose.
