Bob Barr has an op-ed in the WashTimes today bemoaning the fact that some conservatives are upset over the Bank of America project to give credit cards to illegal aliens. (Here is the main site organizing a boycott of Bank of America.) Barr claims that it’s an example of big-government conservatism to try to prevent illegal aliens from embedding themselves in our society, with border control apparently the only legitimate method of immigration control. This is a great example of why libertarian utopians have nothing to contribute to the immigration debate — all they have to say about illegal aliens who elude border guards (or those admitted legally who don’t leave) is that we’ll just have to hope for the best.
