No trolling. I mean: I have said "I’m Pro-Immigration and Pro-Open Borders"–pretty explicit, no? Just b/c I think Raico and Hoppe make arguments worth pondering doesn't mean I am closed borders. Some of us are tolerant enough to hear differing views https://t.co/gZvXS5lzd1 /1

favor immigrants over citizens (forced integration). This is why Hoppe's approach is radical decentralization tending towards anarchy so that both problems evaporate; or in the meantime, a policy that wd reduce forced exclusion by permitting immigrants who have an invitation. /5

Hoppe is for anarchy in which there would be no INS etc. He simply points out that with a welfare democracy, there are costs to whatever immigration policy is adopted: either forced exclusion, or forced integration. Both are costs imposed by the state's existence.
