By definition a liberal is a man or a woman who believes in liberty. Liberalism as a philosophy has evolved as a defense of individual citizen's liberties against the potential tyranny of his or her ruling state. Liberals such as John Locke have typically maintained that humans are naturally in 'a State of perfect Freedom to order their Actions ... As they think fit ... without asking leave, or depending on the Will of any other Man," In other words, unless the individual's liberty impinges upon the liberty of another individual, than that individual should do as he or she wishes (Locke, 1689, Cited by Gaus, 2001).

The a priori assumption is in favour of freedom ... '(Mill, 1859, Cited by Gaus, 2001).

Historic allies, Canada and the United States agreed following
Drug Wars A Thin, Bloody Line Borders are artificial lines. Even when they follow natural divisions such as rivers or mountain ranges, borders are still artificial. They are imaginary lines that different governments (or other official groups of people) have decided marks the place on the earth where the authority and power of one group ends and the power and authority of the next group begins. Borders are in general a good idea
He didn't have to say it but political posturing and the power of special interest lobbying will not stop anytime soon. Nor will the illegal immigrants who want a better life in the U.S. stop trying to come across into the U.S. And while all that goes on, the Border Patrol agents are out there on the front lines, doing their best to protect the border and risking life
