Some of the core beliefs in the libertarian philosophy are individual rights and limited government intervention. This philosophy extends to the issue of immigration, which I wholeheartedly support.

Has America Run Out of Room for Immigrants?
Has America run out of room for immigrants? This has become a key question in the recent surge of interest in immigration policy in the United States. Supporters of tighter restrictions on immigration use various arguments to answer this question, citing higher crime rates caused by immigration, negative effects of immigration on the economy, and low levels of availability of housing, food, and jobs.
Is There a Right to Immigrate?
Is there a moral right to immigrate?

Want To Secure The Border? Legalize Marijuana
The legalization of marijuana by some states certainly has had an effect in the United States, especially when it comes to its medicinal use. Federal legalization of the drug could increase those positive effects as well. While the medical benefits of marijuana legalization are a strong argument, we believe there is an even better but rarely used argument in favor of its legalization. Marijuana legalization would increase border security and limit the power of the Mexican drug cartels.
