Yes, because Libertarians want more freedom, not more crime. Wise old Libertarian saying:
The right to your fist ends at the right of my chin.

Stop claiming you're a "libertarian" when position after position you take is contrary to basic libertarian philosophy. Throwing more and more people into prison doesn't enhance liberty nor does your hard-core anti-immigration stance.

1. Yes, and I can't/won't take the time to calculate that, it matters not, at this point.

2. First, take all the money slated to be given to illegal immigrants.

Would you elaborate on which part of the California budget it is that you think is "slating money for illegal immigrants"?

Impoverished El Salvador just opened a 40,000 inmate facility. Please. Mighty USA can afford it.

The USA already imprisons MORE people per capita than El Salvador. Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is an AMERICAN street gang that spread to El Salvador.

The El Salvador prison is being funded by US taxpayers. You know that right?

Hey, man, it costs money, don't ya know 🤔

Once upon a time Americans were known for the rallying cry "Liberty or Death"! They used to protect themselves with their own guns.

Today's conservatives are so scared of Death they'll throw Liberty under the bus instantly.

Government money comes from taxes, you know, and it's not the Left that's trying to starve the government of tax revenue. You want to cut government income and increase spending. Reality doesn't work like that.
