Why do Badnarik and Campagna deserve the support of Latinos?
Eliminate restriction on work permits
Eliminate federal governments ability to arrest and hold Latinos without due process
We know that most Latinos come to the United States to
work hard and provide a better life for themselves and their families. This is to be admired and encouraged.
We will eliminate INS harassment of law abiding Latinos.
We will encourage trade with all Spanish speaking countries.

No welfare incentives for immigrants (or anyone)
Q: Are both major political parties pandering for Hispanic votes while avoiding the politically sensitive issues of immigration?
A: As a Libertarian, I oppose redistributionist welfare programs. As president, I'd work to eliminate them. Right now, the
US is a magnet for people seeking a handout. I want us to demagnetize ourselves in that respect. A more open immigration regime, coupled with the elimination of welfare incentives, would greatly reduce the resources needed to provide real border security

Open immigration based on just a criminal background check
My goal is to encourage legitimate immigration-people coming to the US to live free and work hard-while defending the nation against enemies who come here to harm it and parasites who come here to live on government largesse. I advocate open immigration
for individuals who are willing to enter at a Customs station and submit to a quick background check to ensure that they aren't criminals or terrorists. And I advocate treating people who cross the borders elsewhere as what they are: invaders.
