A Quote by Jacob G. Hornberger

There is a common perception that there are two alternative libertarian positions on immigration: government-controlled borders and open borders. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is only one libertarian position on immigration, and that position is open immigration or open borders.

The Libertarian position on immigration is to have, not open borders with no restrictions, but to have controlled borders that allow hard-working people to come into America to help raise their standard of living and improve the American economy.

Michael Badnarik

The left has become increasingly dogmatic on immigration. Any position short of supporting open borders is described as racist. That's nonsensical.

Steve Hilton

I respect those who openly advocate for unlimited immigration to the United States. Open borders is an intellectually coherent, defensible position.

Jan C. Ting

In the Swiss government there is a will to limit the number of doctors themselves, because with new bilateral agreements with the European Union, there is what we call the "free flow of persons"; that our borders are open to immigration. And as the Swiss doctors are better paid than others, we could have a huge increase of immigration of doctors, more than we need. So we decided to limit the numbers of doctors coming into Switzerland. It is not a very intelligent system, but it is the best one that we have found to limit immigration of doctors.

Pascal Couchepin

My position on immigration has been clear for a long time. I believe the federal government ought to do their job. You know, secure our borders. Come up with an immigration policy that Americans understand and people who want to come to this country understand.

Rick Scott

I've never met a Democrat in Congress who wants open borders or who doesn't believe in enforcing immigration laws.

Chris Murphy

It's great that Trump has engendered a heated debate over illegal immigration and our open borders.

Tom Tancredo

When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages.

Donald Trump

When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages. Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American citizens.

Donald Trump

The No. 1 question I get is, "Do you believe in an open-borders policy?" I'm like, wait a second: What does that really mean? When you say open-borders policy, do you mean that - this is like the US-Mexico border? We put up a sign that says "Keep Out," then 10 yards in we say, "Job Wanted." Is that what people mean by open borders? So that usually shuts people up. But that's the truth.

Jose Antonio Vargas

There is no quick fix for illegal immigration. But only when we achieve better control of our borders and better respect for our immigration laws can we give meaning to the discussion we need to have over reforming the numbers, categories, and procedures for legal immigration into the United States.

Jan C. Ting

I'm on record saying nothing about immigration until we secure the borders. The borders are not secure.

Kevin McCarthy

Open borders would be clear access to this country without going through a legal immigration process, and that's exactly what Mrs. Clinton is wanting us to do.

Darryl Glenn

Either we abandon the utopian globalism of open borders and 'ally-ally-in-free' immigration or we lose the war on terrorism and our freedoms with it.

Pat Buchanan

Both parties want it now. They want comprehensive immigration reform, and they want open borders.

Rush Limbaugh

The United States has been turned into a mindless true-false test, instead of the complex essay exam, it should be. You are either for open borders, or you are racist and anti-immigration. It just doesn't work that way.
