Agorism and why I want "illegal" immigrants over "legal"

Repeatedly I am getting more and more objections to migration based on the idea that their presence is “illegal.”  I think most you that extol the decree of the state are missing something when it comes to my perspective of immigration.  I want the migrants here and I want them here “illegally.”

Undocumented migrants are natural agorists.  They are not acting so in such a manner as to promote a political ideal, but doing so strictly to survive. Agorism is counter economics.  Agorism is putting libertarian philosophies of liberty and free markets to practice not just talking about them.   A while back went to the public library,  I know, this is just beautiful hypocrisy, there I picked up a copy of An Agorist Primer by Samuel Edward Konkin III.   The book laid out a broad concept of what Agorism was, and a PDF version can be found here. I strongly suggest reading, it is not a long read at all, just a little over 100 pages.

Here is a system that works outside of the state to trade in a free market.  This is counter economics, and as the free market grows and more grows out of this agorist market the more we will empower the individuals. This is not something to come, it is happening, and it will be seen to it’s fruition.  One day the free market can overpower the state and the criminals hiding behind the state shall be placed on trial for the crimes they commit.

My ideal proposal for immigration is not amnesty, or an easy pathway to citizenship, but to leave it alone. I want to not go after Undocumented Migrants.  I want to allow them to function without being forced into the system that I hope will be eliminated in my lifetime.  These migrants who migrate freely are the perfect example of the utter disdain and fear the state and the conservatives have of liberty.  Any form of legalizing will only be an attempt to gain control of these individuals freedoms. Any form of detaining or deporting is also a direct assault on the liberty of those free individuals.

However I am all about pro-migrant sentiment, and will not object to most things that give them more liberty and freedom.  I want the police and the henchmen of the state to just leave these poor innocent people alone.

Arizona is one of the most pertinent issues of liberty and freedom right now in this country. It is showing just how few perversely cry “liberty” while attacking liberty and freedom in devotion to the state.

I want more migrants, and I want undocumented migrants.  I want those free people to be left alone and not to be assaulted by the Police State. They are such a vital part of liberty and the state will try it’s best to gain control of this liberty by either deportation or documentation and excessive human cataloging systems as we currently see with social security and state issued identification.

I live in an urban environment that has many migrants from many countries. The street over from me has an Arabic speaking church and a spanish speaking church.  I see people from the Sudan, the middle east, Vietnam, and Latin America on a daily basis. I see the free market all over the area.  I see people who make food and crafts at home and bring them out to sell in shops and in the streets. Most, if not all of these products are tax free.  I see a neighborhood closer to agorist ideas all because they do not have state issued papers.

    Excellent article. I want everything undocumented, I dream of a world without license plates!

    The issue over immigration is astoundingly simple, these folks are fleeing the problems created by government so that they can live a more peaceful and prosperous life in a land that has until recently enjoyed the greatest measure of liberty in this hemisphere. I cannot and will not begrudge them the opportunity to feed their children and kiss them on the forehead at night without worrying about the ever increasing state created violence that is plaguing the south west.

    Prohibition creates terrible violence, which promulgates the police state in an ever tightening spiral of death and destruction.

    Mass migration is a matter of economics, and all the legislation in the world is worthless when facing the unstoppable and irrepressible tide of humanity.

    “Legal” immigrants have to jump through a bunch of hoops to prove that they won’t be a drain on society. Hilariously, they must do this for people in government who are nothing BUT a drain on society.

    While the sentiment here is appealing to me, as someone with some close relations in the “illegal” status I have to say that your notion of what that entails appears to be quite romanticized.  You write:

    “Any form of legalizing will only be an attempt to gain control of these individuals freedoms.”

    It’s certainly true that naturalizing the illegal gives the state more control over him or her.  However, that is not all it does.  It also lifts the person out of a differentiated legal and social status — a status which, practically speaking, places him or her in a situation of great vulnerability and danger — and which, all too often, unscrupulous employers are quick to exploit.  It is not, as you imagine, a state of “freedom” — at least, not entirely — and to focus on what freedom is there (I do not deny it exists) is to overlook the more significant state of powerlessness.

    It’s one thing to have a society where nobody is under protection of law, and so we all must hang together — as primitive societies once did — and quite another to have a society where some have this protection, while others are a powerless underclass.  Unfortunately, to be an illegal immigrant is exactly this: to be a powerless underclass, easily exploited and victimized, without protection under law.
