5 Most Hardcore Libertarian Positions of Gary Johnson

5. Immigration

Immigration’s a tough subject. Conservatives who like libertarians for their position on economics, free markets, and liberty in general tend to freak out when they hear libertarians talk immigration. That’s because libertarians tend to favor a policy position closer to open borders than the “build a wall” rhetoric espoused by Trump-humping Republicans.

Johnson’s very libertarian on this issue, having stated: “Because of our convoluted immigration policies we’re educating the best and brightest kids from all over the world and we’re sending them back to their countries of origin. Instead of them staying here to start up businesses that will employ tens of millions of Americans they go home and employ tens of millions of Indians. We’re doing that to ourselves. We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get a legal work visa–not citizenship, not a green card. Just a work visa, with a background check and a social security card so that applicable taxes would get paid. And then legalize marijuana. 75% of the border violence with Mexico would go away.”

Gary Johnson. Good on immigration. Good on weed. Doesn’t get much better than that. Wait… you say it does get better? Well then click next!
