5 Most Hardcore Libertarian Positions of William Weld
4. Immigration
In 2013, Weld advocated for an “overhaul” of the American immigration system, stating that the economic arguments to justify as much are overwhelming. He specifically proposed an increase an visas to protect foreign students from being forced to leave upon graduation. He also pointed that the current system is broken in that it creates “de facto legalization” without any of the benefits of legalization. Weld stated that this leads to undocumented immigrants living “in the shadows,” paranoid that they may be noticed and reported.
Most notably, when asked about Donald Trump‘s plan to find and deport eleven million immigrants, he did not mince words. Said Weld, “I can hear the glass crunching on Kristallnacht in the ghettos of Warsaw and Vienna when I hear that, honest.”
