Eleven million illegals cannot and should not be deported by the police state. Nor should they be given the vote nor welfare. As Hans-Hermann Hoppe has shown, increasing the franchise increases the size and power of the state, and welfare, like the state itself, is anti-civilization. But there is a happy interim compromise: no national IDs, no sanctions against employers, no citizenship, no welfare–just the freedom to work, start businesses, and prosper. Sounds good for all of us, by the way.

UPDATE from Ron Paul: “Very succinct and the answer.”
