Why the Silence from Libertarian Immigration Controllers?

by
Let’s recap some of the recent events in the federal government’s decades-long war on illegal immigrants, a war that is part and parcel of a system of immigration controls, which a small segment of conservative-oriented libertarians have supported in the past. A couple of months ago, a team of well-armed ICE agents raided a privately owned slaughterhouse in Tennessee.
