That's very interesting. We seem to have a budding "community of interest" in that my sentiments, at least, lie with Mexicans trying to better themselves.

I seem also to have been laboring under the misunderstanding that libertarianism shared some key precepts with objectivism, such as the inviolability of the fruits of one's labors.

Well, libertarianism does generally support private property rights. The mistake made by many is to assume that private property rights means greedy hoarding, and that isn't the case at all. While Objectivism extols greed, if you look around a bit more, you can find libertarians who are quite interested in charity work and helping the less fortunate. There are even folks who think that Christian principles of selflessness are more in line with libertarian ideas than socialist ideas.

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
