Minor technical/historical point: John Roy Carlson, author of Under Cover, was not an "amateur Nazi hunter"; he was an investigative reporter who put several years' personal research into the project.

The Libertarians, should they get into power, wouldn't use the federal government to stop the illegals — but they wouldn't prevent the states from stopping the invasion either . I want to get a bumper sticker showing the usual Republican-Democrat symbols and saying: "A plague on both their houses. Vote Libertarian.

An interesting point. One good thing about libertarians is that they not only believe government should stay out of people’s bedrooms, et cetera, they also believe that it should stay out of
