Libertarians are cool but they are totally gay about borders

That's just some fringe idiots. Most of us know full well that open borders plus welfare state equals bankruptcy.

Traditionally, they weren't even that gay about borders: they actually believed in strong border security, but unfettered legal immigration with caveats. Basically, if you could buy a house here or had a sponsor they were all about it, but no you can't just jump the border and wander the desert. Which, honestly, strikes me as an almost reasonable compromise at one point in our history (not now: now they have to go back).

Now as a party they are just gay.

Partially true. But many in the LP have changed their minds about immigration. Since 2016 I think it went from 90-10 open borders to about 60-40. And a lot of that 60% is much softer support than before.

Also a lot of new members, such as me, are openly voicing our opposition to open borders.

If you’re talking about the Libertarian Party, they don’t remotely represent all Libertarians. I doubt even near the majority. They’re a joke that serves to disenfranchise the ideology.

Basically the only thing I don't like about Libertarians.
