At the university where I go there are a few signs that have been put up for a sort of benefit which say that the border is a representation of racism and xenephobia.

I have heared so many people call ¨RACISM!! RACISM¨ that I no longer take them as seriously now as before. Hell, I mostly just dismiss them as wacko race baiters, which they are.

There is no doubt that racism continues to be a problem and that an issue like illegal immigration will atract racists on both sides of the debate. But all the same, this isn´t a race issue because being an illegal immigrant has nothing to do with race itself. And saying that it does not say much for illegal immigrants from Canada and Europe who I believe should be deported as well. -- There´s just more of a fuss over Mexicans and Latin Americans because the vast majority if illegal aliens are from south of the border.

Racism is regretable, but that doesn´t mean that I am on the wrong side of the debate. In fact, I have seen racism on the pro-illegal immigrant side as well. Examples of a racist hate group on the pro-illegal immigrant side is the National Council of La Raza, and also the Mexica Movement. (Personally, sometimes I would like those two groups to go head-to-head with the Ku Klux Klan and the Neo-Nazi party until the four of them disappeared. --- Regretably, that´s not going to happen anytime soon.)

In my case, the best proof that this isn´t a race issue is because I live in Mexico currently of my own free will. --- If I was a xenophobe, this would be really rough therapy for me. And if I were a racist then this would be shock treatment. I wouldn´t have lived in Mexico for the last two and a half years of my own free will. My mother and girlfriend are Mexican. So there is more reason for me not to hate Mexicans.

And I am not a self-hating Mexican either. I´m actually proud of where I come from. I love America, but like Mexico.

As I said earlier, this issue will attract racist, but that is not an indicator that I am wrong on this issue. It doesn´t mean I should shut up about it either. But I do see it as necessary to separate myself from racist comments and rightfully say that someone can be against the illegal invasion without being racist.

I'm going to start off by saying "Libertarians like immigration." --- That is true in my case to. But my opinion on immigration has been affected by my immigrant mom and also by info which you can find in my pervious posts.

I am going to mention that many Libertarians are advicates for open immigration. ---- I'm going to just spit it out and say that I would personally like to have open immigration to. ---- But I also have to mention that,as things are now, it is not possible.

What I mean is: Even though the thought of open immigration in itself is appealing to me, one should also take into account the large masive use of social programs illegal and lowed skilled immigrants use, at the tax payers expence.

The truth of the matter is, even though open immigration is appealing to your avarage Libertarian, that Libertarian would also dispise the social programs that low skilled immigrants, and many illegal immigrants, use. --- He should remember that allowing open immigration, which whould include many uneducated immigrants in the country, would inevitably cause taxes to rise on American tax payers because of those government programs. --- What those low skilled and illegl immigrants don't pay to compensate for those services is, in turn, taken from tax payers. (This, of course, is another thing a Libertarian should take into account. We hate those social services and taxes that we should not have to be paying in the first place.)

Open immigration and legalizing illegal immigrants would be a fiscal disaster for the U.S. tax payer, as the system would be now. --- Putting it in this perspective, I do not see my oposition to illegal immigration (and open borders at this point) as un-Libertarian.

My stance it: Get rid of those social services and I may consider open borders. But not until then. --- Having open borders now, while we have many of those programs, potentially leads to a socialistic system. --- Explanation: Low skilled immigrants can't pay for services, therefore you will. (Libertarians are anti-Socialist.)

We detest many government programs. However, immigration, no matter how open it is, or how it is reformed, will not cease to be another government program. --- Even with open immigration it can never stop being a government program because we still will have to know who comes in the country and also who is a citizen, or if someone is a terrorist.

So, based on this, I would suggest that other Libertarians consider a position against illegal immigration and open immigration while, at the present, the results of allowing it would be very un-Libertarian.

So I see my position as the most Libertarian of the two.
