Now, for you rabid anti-illegal alien crowd who think I did a bad thing here, tell me what is worse: My client's giving these illegals a ride from El Paso to Dallas or a cop erasing a video tape with exculpatory evidence on it and an INS official sanitizing a report to hide exculpatory evidence?
The saddest thing is you can't sue the balls off of the lying cops! Were they held financially responsible for the costs of their actions, perhaps they would again become "Peace Officers" as opposed to "Law Enforcement Officers".

I don't think you did a bad thing. You did your job and defended a man who, based on what you presented here and then the case against him dismissed, was innocent of "being in on the whole thing."
In any case, when a cop/prosecutor/official hides or falsifies evidence, they deserve to lose.
I think being a libertarian means that I support the right of people to move freely about to find a better life, even if it means crossing some line in the sand, and even if that line is a border.
On this I disagree with you. This is now about our economic survival as people and as a country. How many illegals do we have now? 11 million is reported, but I believe the real number is 2-4 times that. We can't take in the whole world. We have finite resources.

The REAL problem has nothing to do with the illegals, the US government or the truck driver.
If the illegal aliens had a an automobile mishap, it was the carsalesman fault for not disclosing truth about the vehicle. I wager the illegals drove one of those cheap Japanese imports, too.

....but not if that "line in the sand" or that border happens to be the edge of your own lot or acreage. Or the inside of your house or home. It becomes a matter of degree, or.........it's OK in your backyard but not in MY backyard! :)

Exactly..
Do anything you want as long as it does not infringe on me. If it does, I will call the law upon you.

This the argument that basically I would have made.
A property line is not merely an arbitrary "line in the sand" it is a demarcation establishing the boundaries of an ownership right. And certainly the right to own property is a libertarian principle, as is a contract.
The boundaries of a country are lines establishing the property line i.e., ownership. How that property is maintained and defended is governed by law. The law is established upon the basis of a contract called the Constitution, both of the nation and of the state. The use of that property and the right of use are established by those rules and laws which establish an ownership share called citizenship. As a legal citizen a person is party to the aforementioned contract and as such has an ownership right as delineated by the covenants we call law.
An illegal alien is someone not a party to the contract nor ceded a limited use such as a Green Card. They are basically trespassing unlawfully upon the property of another i.e., the citizens of the United States. As such they are in violation of the property rights of another and should be dealt with as such i.e., kicked out.

Man has always needed and demanded a social order. Someone has to be in charge.
Libertarians would deny this, until someone infringes upon their turf, and THEN they want recourse.
Established order of some kind has ALWAYS been the norm, the free will, if it feels good do it philosophy, has never ruled and never will.
If a nation isn't about Language, Border and Culture it isn't a nation. To those who reject this quaint notion, let them move someplace - some non- existent someplace - that celebrates diversity and an ever growing rate of taxation that can be used to support those who demand services they haven't paid for.

outstanding..that's the best and most fair argument i've read against illegals.
Thank you. Although I expressed it formally it has been my basic point of view for sometime. After all what is a nation? It is nothing more than the agreements of a group to band together under a system of common beliefs. The land upon which they live, their property, is parceled in accord with the rules they establish, and the group's territory is all that land within those arbitrary lines on a map. Which are not so arbitrary when you think about it.

Any white that lives in this country and does NOT want a commonality of any kind to bind us together as a nation, should move, leave we uneducated heathen whites alone.

Which is why I am a PaleoLibertarian as opposed to the more modern, and currently fashionable, fetish of Anarcho-Libertarianism. You are quite right, man wants order, and in his highest state brings order to the world around him/her. I once had a protracted argument on LF on the point with a well spoken and ardent anarcho-capitalist. The Paleolibertarian viewpoint is basically what an anarchist calls minarchism - or minimal government. The upshot being, and my position in the argument, is because of this desire to bring order to the environment anarchism, the pure theoretical kind, simply cannot exist, and if it did for even a short time then some form of order, whether good or bad, would come about. Whether it be by the local chief thug subjugating everyone in the vicinity or by the formation of that which we once had - a Constitutional Republic. Free will still exists but there are rational boundaries in a sane an civil society. The old saw being that "your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose". In a society of more than one then there will always be limits to the pure exercise of free will, but I am not enslaved by the obligation to be a good neighbor as it is reciprocal - in a sane society.

No, you're consistent. You're an attorney (lawyer-liar; a slimey son of a bitch to begin with) that is quite possibly, first and foremost, an illegal alien - Loving-son-of-a-bitch-Traitor.

the trooper notices 3 passengers in the client's sleeper. He asks, who are those people?
Truck drivers pick up 3 wetback hitchhikers all the time, right? Bullshit.
Did the driver own the rig or was he working for someone? Truckers insurance usually specifically prohibits picking up anybody and if he was working for a company they would fire him.
I'll bet a bucket of tacos the driver was a spic himself and was sympathetic to the wets or was being paid. You got a guilty man off the hook, nice work scumbag

What the cop did.

What's your proof the immigration officer made those remarks? The lying illegal cargo who threw your smuggling client under the bus to say whatever they think they can get away with to their advantage? What's your proof the recorder was on, erased, or taped over? What would be your argument if there was no recorder? I don't think you're a Libertarian. I think you're an Anarchist. Anrchrist Lawyer. Sounds oxymoronic.

The INS officer should have said "I'll take these illegal mexicons off your hands" and the DPS officer should have said to the truck driver "Here's your license, hit the road!". That's the way that situation should have ended.

The cop/INS officer have NO way of verifying when/where the illegals crawled into his truck cab. If I were a cop, I would have just pulled the illegals out and sent the truck driver down the road with a warning to be more careful about who he picks up.
Was the truck driver an American citizen??

A good while back, more than a decade ago I'm sure, I attended a couple of local Libertarian gatherings.
I found them liberally sprinkled with off the wall odd balls like you. In those days it was rants about dope, abortion, and such. You and your extremist ilk are a heavy load, probably too heavy for the party to carry forward to any measure of success unless you're purged.

....but not if that "line in the sand" or that border happens to be the edge of your own lot or acreage.
In that case they are trespassing on my private property. Private property rights are fundamental to the whole libertarian philosophy.
So if you live a lot or two inside the southern border and a pack of wetbacks trounce through your backyard, shoot the bastards.
But if the guy whose lot line line IS the border you bust your balls for the invaders.
You're truly a piece of work.
