And all others. All of them. Gone.

All public services would be privatized and be better off for it. Police, fire, EMT, 9–11 services, roads, bridges, libraries, civic centers, and even hospitals would be either privately funded services, or else donor-based charitable services.

Immigration would be no problem in such a society because all property would be private. There would be no government-owned property, roads, or borders in need of government agents to patrol or build a wall. Private property owners would be in full charge of whom they let on their property, or not, with the right of home defense against intruders. Further, there would be no welfare benefits to incentivize or reward interlopers who wish to seize amnesty even if they would be unwelcomed. In light of this, the immigrant population would be made of only welcomed and/or hardworking guests.

I think the author has not really thought through some of these issues. The absolute abolition of all taxation whatsoever, "privatised roads", and no "borders to be patrolled" seem not only irrational and unworkable, but unscriptural as well.

American Vision, while adhering to basic theonomic ideals, is not quite what I would consider representative of theonomy.
