It's a good thing it's illegal, that way these people can fight it in the courts with all the access to legal assistance they have.

One of the biggest drawbacks to the libertarian 'fight-it-out-in-court' mindset is that it considers everyone to be equal, but only if they can afford a lawyer. The people that libertarianism fails the most are the people we're talking about right now.

Forget affording a lawyer, they can't even read the contracts that they sign in the first place as they don't read Arabic. Hell some don't even read or write, and have to put an 'X' where their signature should be. Even if they could read it they'd sign anyway, because shit what choice do they have when the family needs feeding? We're talking about asymmetry the like of which people in the developed world cannot begin to comprehend, and that is the reason that unrestrained free markets can never operate effectively.

You are confused between criminal and civil courts. You only need a lawyer for civil claims. For criminal claims, the state is your lawyer (of course, if you're the victim), and the whole state criminal system was intended exactly to secure personal rights, before it was hijacked to prosecute such heinous crimes as barbering without license and smoking wrong species of plant. Libertarianism never fails on that because libertarianism claims exactly that - that the purpose of the state is to protect personal rights and nothing else. In this example, the state is failing spectacularly and the only task for which it may exist - how it is a libertarians problem? Libertarianism didn't fail these people, the state in whose jurisdiction they are did.
