Kim is a bit shocked that Rand Paul doesn’t like ICE. That isn’t anything new, since the Pauls are staunch libertarians, and are therefore opposed to borders and border enforcement. Read the LP platform yourself:
We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.
Yet another reason why I can’t be a libertarian. You can’t get rid of borders until you get rid of government giveaways. An open border cannot coexist with a welfare state. It’s math.
