	Libertarian Party on Immigration Party Platform

No unreasonable constraints in crossing political boundaries

Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. Source: Libertarian Party Platform for 2018-2020 National Convention , Jul 4, 2018

Unrestricted political refugees; but restrict threats

Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a credible threat to security, health or property. Source: 2014 Libertarian Party Platform , Nov 1, 2014

Eliminate all restrictions on immigration

We welcome all refugees to our country. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference. We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.
