Should Libertarians Abandon Principle on Immigration?

by Jacob G Hornberger

“Last week, Jeffrey Tucker, a columnist for the Epoch Times and the president of the Brownstone Institute, authored a piece entitled ‘Why We Need Border Control’ (paywall), in which he explained his reasons for abandoning the libertarian position favoring open borders and adopting the Republican-Democratic position favoring government-controlled borders. In my new book The Case for Open Borders: A Primer (available for one dollar at Amazon in both Kindle and Audible formats), I addressed most of the arguments that Tucker raised to justify his abandonment of libertarian principle with respect to immigration, but what I stated in my book deserves repeating.” (11/04/25)
