      1/ It's naive to think that removing any one random component of government is the right way to decrease the total amount of government. In fact, order matters.https://twitter.com/LucyStag/status/1057015240901173249 …

      Right, deploying troops just increases the militarization of one of the ways in and out of the country -- much anarchist. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1057014718836236289 …

      2/ Shall we remove the Freedom of Information Act first? Hey, suddenly our government is 0.2 % smaller, because we're not paying unelected bureaucrats to open and respond to letters!

      3/ Shall we remove public defenders next? We can cut the tax rate a tiny bit!

      4/ We could get rid of parole boards, perhaps. Let every prisoner serve out the full term. That'd make government smaller, right?

      5/ And then we've got pesky laws that stop teachers and police from campaigning for candidates from office. More laws that we can strike down! Smaller government, yeah!

      6/ Or, perhaps, we have built up a terrible edifice where beam leans against beam, somewhat counter balancing each other, even as they make something grotesque and evil. ...and the ORDER in which we remove the components matter.

      7/ Public defenders should be among the last to go (as you yourself agree, I think, @LucyStag ). But controlling the borders is also way down on the list of things to chop.

      8/ As long as 2/3 of the Constitution is ignored, and the commerce clause and the public good allow absolutely everything, and the war on drugs rages, then maybe it makes sense - maybe it's MORE LIBERTARIAN - to not increase the # of people who want to ramp up the War on Drugs.

      9/ Again, @AlexNowrasteh and @CatoInstitute have documented how immigrants want much more government, want more taxes, want more social spending, and want more war on drugs.

      Replying to @MorlockP @LucyStag and

      I've been impressed by your thorough picking apart of Cato's myriad arguments, here But Doesn't your approach rest on an interpretation of articulated preferences inconsistent with the literature on their utility? Aren't you out on a rational voter limb?

          Cato's research develops the articulated policy preferences of immigrants, which you rightly find to be inconsistent with liberal principles in both the short and long term

          But the literature on voter behavior suggests that articulated policy preferences and revealed preferences diverge at varying rates, making the 1:1 relationship your critique rests on precarious
