Voluntary as in the concept of a contract. Yeah, it's voluntary when some asshole volunteers to squat in your house and shit on your carpet, he volunteered to do that. You were the party that didn't get a choice.
So, when someone steals your money to bring someone into your house to squat in your bedroom and shit on your carpet... that's not voluntary. Your house is being confiscated so it can be turned into subsidized slave barracks.
Put it like this. If you invite someone to your house, does that give your guest the right to drive through your neighbors yard because it's shorter? No. That's trespassing: hippity-hoppity. So if your guest crashes through your neighbor's yard, and your neighbor shoots them, is that wrong? No. Hippity hoppity.
This is one of the things that bothers me about the border. You have people who's property is on the border who can't do anything about illegals crossing, not the border, but their land. They should be building their own barbed wire entanglements. Hell, the government should be paying them to build barbed wire entanglements. If a horde of people is pouring through your property without permission you make them hippity fucking hoppity the fuck back to Guatemala, I don't care if Koch Foods Inc sent you. The McKloskeys did nothing wrong.
You don't get it. There's not supposed to be a deal. The reason there's a "deal" is because a massive corporation (a public business and legal construction of the government) made a deal with a Socialist fucking state to take X amount of the Socialist government's population to eliminate the pressure on that government's bloated welfare system.
If those Leftist governments didn't deport their populations to corporate colonies, their government would collapse form internal tension and economic malfeasance. So, they traffic people out of the country for political reasons to these public corporations who create plantations where everyone works and spends most of their time. This will include bribing the local government to control them, and then putting all of their illegal colonists into public housing and public accommodation.
The deal should never have been allowed at all. There shouldn't have been an easing on the Socialist welfare state's burden. There should not have been an offer from a public corporation. If you want to come to America, you shouldn't be offered anything except the luxury of becoming an American. No gibs. No corporate gibs, no government gibs, no charity gibs. No gibs.
I don't believe in Isolationism, but if we did that the Isolationists would have thought they had banned immigration. The strongest driving force of deportations is economics. As soon as it looks like Americans might not pay for illegals to work, they leave. If you stop paying illegals to come here, then they won't come either.
This is why public corporations that participate in these schemes should be actively fucking dissolved.
International trade exists because autarky is always impractical and highly inefficient.
All that reactionary attitude and I still gotta bat you on the nose for embracing socialist economics.
You unintentionally hit on the overarching problem with libertarianism. Incidentally, it's the problem with all ideologies that ignore basic human nature.
It is a deal, as much as an unattended $20 is.
Libertarianism didn't build public corporations and welfare states.
You're missing my point. If someone wants to come to America, that can't be part of a human trafficking scheme.
People who want to come to America need to earn their way in as individuals.
I know what you're saying, but my point is, they don't come here for public corporations or the welfare state. They come here because the nations they built never developed very far, and they're poor.
Efforts to stop them are a bit out of line with libertarian ideology, at least as it used to stand.
Americans individually will pay bottom dollar for labor. So you have to flex a little authoritarianism to make something like this happen. "Guy's Remodelling", picking up 4 random Mexicans on the corner each morning, isn't a public corporation. It's just a supply and demand thing.
They absolutely come for the welfare state, that's a driving factor for mass migration in Europe, but it's also a factor in the US. The primary factor in the US is a corporate plantation which gives them an effective welfare state.
It's called "controlled opposition".
This is a supply and demand thing, but it's a different problem you have the wrong direction for a solution. They literally can't hire people legally without incurring huge costs. American labor is over-priced because of all the protectionism that makes sure no one can afford it. This drives up use of illegal labor as well as automation. If it were legal to pay Americans a simple wage with no massive legal and regulatory barriers in place, there would be no issue.
This is why California is doing everything in it's power to destroy the "gig economy". They want everyone to be paid $25 an hour with a massive corporate benefit scheme at an incredible cost that will destroy all but the largest businesses who will get subsidies, tax-breaks, and write-offs to stay afloat. They want only corporate slaves, and for everyone else to be a politically and economically dependent underclass made loyal by welfare state slavery, grateful that Amazon finally gave them a chance after being on a wait-list for 2 years.
If legal American labor was allowed to compete with few restrictions and mandated "benefits", the competition would be too stiff for illegals to want to come. Instead the government ensures that they create conditions that incentivize the largest businesses to import as many millions as they can carry.
Like I said, if you want to create even worse mass migration, increasing the cost of legal American labor is the best way to do it.
