I'm not so sure it represents a change in his views, though. Is Dr. Phillies in favor of maintaining a quota on the <i>total</i> number of immigrants? How about employer sanctions? Both stances are still contrary to the current (post-2006) LP Platform. I would love a yes or no answer to these two questions. I applaud George Phillies for issuing this statement.

But I didn't do it while running for the LP's presidential nomination. Phillies's original immigration stance was pure Know-Nothingism. Now he's taking a libertarian, pro-capitalist, pro-freedom stance? I guess he realized he couldn't unite the anti-capitalist, pro-xenophobia CP types with the rabidly pro-special-rights for gays, pro-abortion libertine cosmotarians. Attempting to do so was more futile than Milnes's "progressive alliance."
