So it's OK to restrict foreigner's entry to the country because of their "values"? Who gets to determine that? The government?
I'm a libertarian too and I'm 100% open borders, which is the only position consistent with any sane reading of (a) free market economics and (b) basic libertarian ethics

If you are open borders then you’re an idiot. Libertarianism is impossible without a defined jurisdiction of legal supremacy.
If we are a town of 10,000 people, and we practice libertarian values…how do we react to 20,000 sharia law Muslims moving into our community and then voting to behave against all our values and impose them on us? How do we stop that? Do we use force or do we just move away?
Because our nation is the same way, there is an endless stream of people who would move here given the opportunity and they would impose their will on us if we rejected the idea of force to impose our own will. Restricting entry is one way to preserve our ability to maintain the culture of our native population.
How do we determine whether people shares our "values"? Who gets to make that call and impose it on a geographic area?
And how far down does that apply? does a town have the right to restrict the entry of peaceful people because they disagree with their "values"?
oh yeah and how is it consistent with libertarianism to claim that the State has a right to restrict economic activity between consenting adults?
