The tea party and libertarians have different views on social issues, so that probably keeps them separate. But as far as economic issues and most foreign policy issues they are near the same, minus Israel. Many libertarians culturally are more similar to liberals, being atheist and pro choice will get you run out of a tea party event pretty quick. I was at one point a libertarian, but now consider myself a moderate, perhaps an even rarer political view...
Some of the most well respected Libertarians are pro-life. Ron Paul and Nat Hentoff for example.
People really should quit with the generalizations.
So what is the official position of the Libertarian Party regarding border enforcement? They support open borders. Most libertarians support open borders. The position of Ron Paul does not change that.

The Tea Party started out as the Libertarian side of the republican party 8 years ago.
Jumping on the coattails of Ron Pauls popularity, the Constitutionalist Tea Party was quickly contaminated.
Why aren't libertarians standing aside the Tea Party activists

There are racists/rednecks in EVERY PARTY. IMO it is not the main thread of the Tea Party Partiers.
The fact is Tea Party folks are welcome to join the Libertarian Party at any time
All they have to do is drop their religious trunk and foreign policy at the door before entering

tell that to the evangelicals, also tell that to global warming fanatics who believe that global warming (AKA climate change) is their religion too.
