America's freedoms are only for Americans?

  Just a thought. We offer freedom of speech, and of religion, and so forth. Are we saying, you can't have these freedoms. No, America's freedoms are not for you?

  I think it would be argued there is a difference between having the right to freedom and having the right to come to America. They don't come as a set. They are two separate things. We are not taking away your freedom of speech, nor your freedom of religion. We are only taking away away your right to come to America.

  Check: We aren't even taking away that. You don't have the right to come to America, so it isn't something we are taking away.

  I will wonder, though. If people did have the right to come to America, that would, indeed, make it a freedom.

  A freedom is only a freedom if you allow it to be one.

  So, rather than suggesting there is no such thing as freedom to come to America, we should perhaps say it is not a freedom we allow.

  It's a freedom that is against the law. Not for everyone, but for some.

  Now, not all freedoms are inherent, not all are unalienable. I do think it just that we should consider on whether coming to America fits in as a freedom that is inherent in the word "freedom" or whether it is a freedom we are justified in preventing them from having.
