[Urbane Guerrilla]

Nothing we do north of the border will materially affect illegal immigration, even if we construct two thousand miles of fence. It does not strike at the root of the problem: Mexico does not have a middle class. The opportunity to bootstrap yourself up is north of the Rio Grande.

Griff, don't become too attached to Article IV, there: the very minute the Libertarian Party accedes to a position of national responsibility, it becomes a dead letter. The most to be hoped for is some reduction of number and type of alliances entered into and cutting off foreign aid to one or two dubious candidates before the Department of State convinces a Libertarian Administration of the foreign-policy effectiveness of bribery.

Too, there's also the matter -- one not examined by you, among others -- of just how libertarianism may come to those places, generally despotisms, where libertarianism would bring the greatest benefits to the greatest number. Despots do not respond well to moral examples or righteous indignation. I figure it'll take shooting -- done by people who believe in libertarianism enough to do that.
