Paul defends this on the grounds that he is making up for the taxes taken out of his district, but that's absurd; such an argument could justify any spending.
Ron Paul always votes against the bill authorizing spend to occur in the first place, even ones he adds earmarks to. He is not justifying or attempting to justify the spending at all, rather he is often the only one claiming it is injust. That is, he is against theft, but if theft does occur, he is for the property being returned.
There is no libertarian case to secure the border
Under libertarian minarchism, the duty of government is strictly to protect the life, liberty, and property of individuals under its protection. Border control could easily fall under private property rights (and therefore trespassing laws) which all legitimate governments are required uphold.
mass deportation
RP has repeatedly made it clear that he opposses all the proposals requiring national ID cards or employers to check employees against national immigration databases. In other words, he is not for aggressive deportation and turning citizens into police like the other republican candidates because it would undermine the liberty of everyone.
