Minarchism answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

No, only if they are convicted of a violent crime

This position aligns with minarchism's principles by balancing the enforcement of laws with the protection of individual rights. It suggests a government role in detaining and deporting illegal immigrants but limits this to those convicted of violent crimes, thus minimizing government intervention while maintaining public safety and order, core concerns of minarchism.

Agree

Yes

Minarchism, advocating for a minimal state focusing primarily on protecting individual rights, might see local law enforcement detaining illegal immigrants for minor crimes as a necessary function of maintaining law and order. However, the ideology's emphasis on minimal government intervention could lead to a more moderate stance, as it may view such actions as potentially overreaching.

Slightly agree

Yes, all illegal immigrants should be turned over to federal authorities and deported

Minarchists might agree with the principle of enforcing immigration laws, including the deportation of illegal immigrants, as part of maintaining national sovereignty and security. However, their support might be tempered by concerns over the potential for government overreach and the importance of focusing on more serious crimes, reflecting a more nuanced position.

Disagree

No

While minarchism values minimal government, it also recognizes the necessity of enforcing laws, including immigration laws. Therefore, it might not fully support the refusal to detain and transfer illegal immigrants for minor crimes, seeing it as a neglect of law enforcement's role in protecting the rights of citizens. However, the negative score is moderated by the ideology's caution against excessive government intervention.

Disagree

No, too many non-violent immigrants are being deported

Minarchism's focus on minimal government and the protection of individual rights might lead to concerns about the broad deportation of non-violent immigrants, seeing it as an overextension of state power and potentially harmful to individual liberties. This stance reflects a prioritization of limiting government action and focusing on protecting citizens' rights over aggressive immigration enforcement.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
