Patri:

It is worth considering the future liberty you might gain. Why wouldn’t it be?

Because other people’s lives are not your bargaining chips, even if you can buy greater freedom for yourself by sacrificing them. They are not yours to give.

Now, is it wrong to reach through your crystal ball and deport George W. Bush?

Maybe not. Using force against an individual in order to defend yourself against a known, concrete threat posed by that individual is often within the bounds of justice. Using force against an innocent third party in order to “defend” yourself against the vague dangers allegedly posed by the ethno-national collective of which she is a member, however, is not. You have absolutely no right to visit the presumed sins of her compatriots on her, if you have no reason for thinking that she herself will do some damage to your rights. I can think of absolutely no libertarian principle that would justify or excuse that kind of collective punishment.
