Thiel calls himself a libertarian, but his involvement with Palantir demonstrates that he is just as much a big-government statist as the people he criticizes.

Re: Palantir helps authorities track illegal immigrants
#13Maybe it's time for somebody to start a company aimed at helping tax cheats avoid the government. Or maybe it's time for illegal immigrants to follow the law, just like thousands of legal immigrants do? Maybe they can pay taxes for the social welfare resources they use, the free college, the free medical expenses. Do you know how frustrating it is for legal immigrants who worked hard to become legal and follow the la…
In regards to paying taxes and social welfare resources, they actually contribute quite a bit:

And in a perverse turn of events, they probably help some social welfare programs (ie Social Security) because they can never receive those benefits.

I upvoted you because I believe it was a well put opinion. But I have some doubts (I dont live in the US). Do illegal immigrants are allowed to free college and free medical expenses? I would imagine any kind of formal register required to use these services would lead them to be arrested and deported.

US citizens don't have access to free college and healthcare but somehow illegal immigrants do?

One example. Read up on it. This is a public school, funded with your tax dollars. Tax dollars that will be spent on people who break the law, throw it in your face, and then demand more free stuff.

Wait I'm confused. Are you literally upset by this? Why is enforcing the law and following policies so everybody can make a successful transition to become a US citizen a bad thing? If your illegal, and most likely your not going to pay your fair share for the entitlements and services you and others use then I have zero respect for you.

#18Engadget? Aren't they part of that revenge porn outfit that was sued into bankruptcy a little while back?
In fact, I recall that Peter Thiel helped fund the lawsuit against them. Huh. What a coincidence.

Are you for open borders? No? Then illegal immigrants are going to exist.
