Theoretically only private borders should exist.
But so long as money is being stolen for "public projects" I'd like to see them managed at least half as well as they would be privately.
The "public" part of a public library doesn't make it a homeless shelter. And shitting in the park should be policed. People who make public places unusable should be dealt with so that the paying public can continue to use what they have paid for.
I do think that having the govt manage the borders has produced a world where they are paying all the wrong people to cross them. The real solution to that is to destroy the money printer & all political power entirely, but in the short term the socialists tend to hate policies that disrupt their plans, & I certainly don't want their plans carried out either.
Minarchists believe that all a govt should do is provide security & justice. I believe giving a force funded org power over those things is the seed that corrupts everything else, and that a voluntary market would do those things better. But so long as resources are being stolen, & govt is monopolizing things, wanting resources directed as productively as possible doesn't seem like the wrong thing to want.
The problem is that we are fast approaching some sort of anarcho tyranny (or whatever you want to call it) where security & justice are unenforceable by law. Factions within the govt are using stolen resources to actively destroy both public "services" & private property; theft is literally legal in major cities, & private property is used to house the homeless by decree (making property rights less meaningful to a whole new degree). And the govt is creating armies of economic refugees at home & outside the country, & then bribing them to help terrorize the productive people that they really want enslaved.
That said, even though I thought Trump was the lesser of two evils in both cases I also couldn't bring myself to go & vote for him because I don't want any responsibility for anything any of these evil bafoons do. And it's not lost on me that border walls are more often used for keeping people in. So when the socialists start supporting them it's probably just time to leave.
