Why have so many libertarians gone silent who could properly frame the issue in terms of private property and the NAP?

Why do foreigners have the positive right to travel to America?
ReplyDeleteForeigners have the right to travel here on a privately owned airplane or ship where the owner consents; once they get here, they then have the right to traverse or occupy privately owned property where the owner consents. The issue is muddied because the state claims control over aircraft and ships coming here, and over land at the border and internally. Thus the question is whether the state can legitimately exercise such control. Per the NAP, the answer is "no".
DeleteWas there freedom of travel into the (fictional) Galt's Gulch? Or did the community control immigration?
ReplyDeleteThe was that one plane that crashed the party. :)
DeleteYou both seem to be confusing Wenzel's point by conflating state control over border's with Wenzel's position of private property, which you probably already know of course.
ReplyDeleteIn Wenzel's ideal, these people would be allowed to come with valid invitation, and the state would exist, is illegitimate, and obviously has no right to interfere with such agreements.
Again, I'm pretty sure you both know this already.
