If you don’t have the right paperwork, you don’t get to stay—pretty simple. People complain when ICE enforces the law, but that’s exactly what they’re supposed to do.

ICE detaining a Canadian businesswoman for nearly two weeks just shows how broken and cruel the immigration system has become—imagine what happens to people without money or connections.
This is exactly the kind of government overreach that libertarians have been warning about for years. A non-violent businesswoman getting locked up for nearly two weeks over paperwork is just another example of how immigration laws are weaponized against peaceful people. The state loves to expand its power, whether it’s through ICE, the IRS, or any other bureaucratic nightmare. If we actually valued freedom, we’d be making it easier—not harder—for people to work and contribute.
