Sound silly? For the libertarian, it's about as viable as "border security," argues Gene Callahan. (And to pre-empt the inevitable outraged idiot who will cry foul over Callahan's suggestion that we forceably stop pregnant or 'prospective' mothers from delivering their little tykes -- in what would inevitably involve quite brusque forms of coercion -- let me note that this is a satirical piece.)
They're Coming To America
Many libertarians have been far too complacent in the face of a growing threat to our cultural cohesion, our way of life, and our liberty. I'm talking, of course, about the thousands of people who arrive in our country everyday, hoping to make it their new home.
Those arrivals present us with a myriad of social problems. For the most part, they do not speak our language. They are unfamiliar with our culture. It will take time to assimilate them all, and the government's effort to promote multi-culturalism through the public schools and other government institutions can only lengthen that assimilation time.
Few of these strangers arrive in America with job offers in hand. The odds are high that many of them will rely, at some point in their lives, on government handouts. And studies show that the longer new arrivals reside in the country, the more likely they are to receive welfare.
They will make use of public transportation, public roads, public utilities, public schools, and so on, further straining resources that are already stretched thin in many cases. Their arrival results in a "dumbing down" of the public education system, prompting politicians to throw even more money at it.
