    Support for open borders is a fundamental tenet of libertarianism...

    When did Elizabeth Warren become a classic Libertarian?

    No thanks. I like her but she does not have my vote so it's irrelevant to me

    Do you like how they gave her the debate with basically all the no name candidates.

    Decriminalizing an action doesn't mean that it is allowed.  It can still be a violation of law that carries some form of punishment. But not incarceration.   Speeding and illegal lane changes are not crimes; they are infractions/violations.

    As I understand it she and other Dems are talking about removing all penalties.

    Typical no clue move by the Dems. That's what happens when they try to function without any leadership or direction.

    She is saying she agrees with Castro regarding the border. I've read that a few times in the past couple of days . That's  where my answer came from.   I did not, however, watch any of the debates.  He made it clear he is for making illegal border crossing a civil rather than criminal violation.  That is what decriminalizing means.

    No, it won't help her to win. Open borders are one of the liberal's main election arguments. Unfortunately for them, that argument hasn't done a whole lot of good for them so far and I don't see it doing anything for them in the future. It also shows that they have nothing new to offer. It's the same tired and boring mantra they've been spewing for quite some time now. :)
