The Manifest Failure of the US Border-Control System

Source: Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G Hornberger

“A genuine open-border policy, at least from a libertarian perspective, is the type of border system we have domestically with respect to the crossing of state borders. No Border Patrol, ICE, highway checkpoints, warrantless searches, Berlin Wall, concertina wire, surveillance equipment, drones, boarding of Greyhound busses, arrests, prosecutions, convictions, incarcerations, deportations, or any other other police-state measures. No restrictions whatsoever on the free movements of goods, services, and people across state borders. That is a genuine system of open borders. Most everyone would agree that America’s domestic open-border policy — one that is based on freedom, free markets, and limited-government — has worked and still works. No death, suffering, and border police state that destroys freedom and privacy. Obviously, that is not the system we have — or have had — on the U.S-Mexico border, either under Biden or in the last 100 years.” (11/04/24)
