The American Spectator

It would have been interesting to hear John Tabin take on immigration. Liberals [the progressives] favor open borders. And so do many of the libertarians that I come across, but for different reasons.

Leftists are self-hating. They feel guilty about America’s prosperity and power and have a irrational fear of the envy of other. Liberals would not mind submerging the nation with Third Worlders; it would be a way of assuaging their troubled souls. This is the same mental disorder that is afflicting the elite of Europe where many of their elite are actually cheering the prospect of the continent becoming Eurabia. Go figure.

The libertarians, on the other hand, idolized the individual and place individual rights over country — and often over family and God, too. No society can be built on libertarian principles. God created man as a social being, and that’s something the Cato Institute can’t change.
