I’m pretty sure if we eliminated all government funded welfare, you would not see the Republican Party saying open borders are a-ok.

It's not the Republican Party handing out taxpayer dollars to "newcomers"......

I’m not exactly sure what that means, but regardless, I was responding to a statement about a supposed similarity between the immigration policies of the Libertarian and Republican Parties. I was suggesting they are more different than the poster implied.

My post was addressing another poster who said Libertarian and Democrat policies were very similar.

Libertarians are their own Political Party, not Independents. Unbelievable the narcissism and arrogance of Trump. Republican candidate Donald J. Trump. Libertarian candidate Donald J. Trump? NO CHOICE for Never Trump "RINO'S". Does he think he is his good buddy Vlad? DICTATOR?

My Republican husband votes Libertarian AGAINST Trump. Sorry, stay home? ?

As a libertarian I cannot find any common ground with the Democrat party of the 21st century. While some elements of the Republican platform are in conflict with my libertarian principles, the divide on the Republican side is not nearly as wide as on the Democrat side. Since the Libertarian party never has a realistic chance of winning major elections I have to coalesce with Republicans.

The Libertarians invited Trump to speak.

I'm honored that President Trump has such a high opinion of we libertarians. I always thought of us as the gold standard of the political parties.

Oops! Appears like someone didn't read or perhaps even skim the link posted by the OP and just responded with a TDS comment.

You should read the link I'm only repeating what they said. They want to allow anyone to come to the US for any reason without restrictions as long as they are not criminals.
