Immigration to the US is now heavily subsidized by government handouts, and it’s a no-brainer that all welfare for immigrants must be abolished. It's also important to limit citizenship. But some aspects of the Trump plan dangerously empower government agencies in ways similar to the state-building legislation of the post-9/11 days. We don’t need more federal power in the US. We need less.

Let's talk about the Trump immigration plan plans from both a free market laissez-faire classical liberal perspective and look at what's good and bad about the plan some aspects of it are great no brainer they protect private property rights some aspects essentially expand Federal police powers and that's not a good thing. 

GOOD PART OF TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION PLANS 

00:29.  Cutting out welfare dollars.  In recent decades, the US Immigration system has become a government subsidized scheme.  Show up, get free money, access to schools.  All sorts of free stuff get thrown at migrants.  Even those who go through the legal system after only 5 years they get access to a wide variety of welfare programs.  Also get access to citizenship they're at least begin the process after 5 years. 

Also, brand new immigrants showing up and have money thrown at them, like these five-star New York hotels subsidized by the government to turn them into fake "refugee shelters."  You see this in cities like New York but really across all US cities.  Debit card with thousands of dollars on it; free housing in luxury hotels; free food, as well as free natal care.  Americans saw it as a problem.  Huh.  That's why they're voting for Trump.  So no downside to cutting all that immigration welfare in this scheme of subsidizing migration.  Nothing wrong with true private sector migration where someone gets invited, offers a job to these people or the private sector supports these people and these people have to be productive in return.  Situation when we're facing.

02:12.  Citizenship is not a property right there is no natural righteous citizenship in any particular place except for the tiny number of people who would be rendered truly stateless where they denied you a citizenship none of these people arriving would be stateless without being granted you as citizenship they already have citizenship in the countries they came from when a lot of them get citizenship in the US they don't renounce their old citizenship they now have dual citizenship showing that they were never at risk being stateless but by not having citizenship are not forfeiting any property rights we should expand the time Horizon for citizenship to at least 10 years maybe 20 this requires a person to be far more invested in the local community to contribute a lot more to the local economy before they can start to extract resources in the form of social benefits programs and that doesn't endanger anyone's property rights you don't have to be a citizen to acquire property to keep it to have legal contracts with others.

MASS DEPORTATION

03:40.  How do you accomplish Mass deportation?

Border agents don't have special powers to determine who is legal or illegal.  How do you determine this?  You have to conduct investigations. How do you conduct investigations you ask people what their citizenship status is you investigate them you spy on them essentially You observe them demand they provide proof of citizenship ask people for their papers I know we're going to be told by many conservatives if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear that's what these people told us with regards to the Patriot Act, the NSA spying, and the war on terror, in general, those vast expansions in the surveillance state, that a lot of conservative supported said "Hey, it's no big problem, because the government would never abuse its power."  Of course, we know, they always do.  So any scheme to go out and start investigating people more closely to determine what their citizenship status is, it's problematic.  Some migrants will volunteer themselves for deportation; these people are criminals in many cases.

05:54.  Since World War II, the US created this whole new idea of a "Border Zone."  [Border Patrol was created in 1924, and became part of US Customs & Border Patrol, CBP, in 2003.  This 25-mile wide border zone was created in 1952.] It's no longer just the border with a wall checking to see if a migrant is a felon; that's one thing that virtually nobody has a problem with.  But since World War II this new invention of the federal government, the obviously unconstitutional, 20th-century thing created was this 25-mile "Border Zone," where border agents can wander around asking people to prove their citizenship.  That was unilaterally extended without approval from Congress up to 100 miles and more recent decades.  You've seen videos with this on YouTube where people are just driving through the American Southwest and they're being stopped and asked about their citizenship.

07:20.  Going around asking citizens to justify their existence with paperwork is a problem.  We can't have a society that punishes private citizens for trying to rent an apartment to a person who doesn't have the correct government paperwork.  Or for someone who's paying a migrant to mow their lawn and they don't have the correct government paperwork.  These are all examples and excesses of Federal power expansion beyond a border issue.  Cutting off welfare dollars is the best start.  Or changing the citizenship situation that actually limits Federal power

None of these people arrive stateless.  By not having any citizenship, these people are forfeiting any property rights.  They have citizenship in their old country.  They are dual citizens.  We should expand the 

You don't have to be a citizen to acquire property, to keep it, to
