Freedom begins with the right to roam

   Consider this thought: Freedom begins with the right to wander.
   Freedom has no bars, no shackles, no prison. Those who lose their freedoms are locked up, and not allowed to roam. You stick a man in prison, and he loses his freedom. And, what does that mean? What has he lost?
   The right to roam. The right to go where he chooses. His wandering is limited to the small confinement of a jail cell.
   So, what of the immigrant? Are we taking away a freedom when we limit his right to wander? Are we taking away a basic freedom by tossing up a wall, or by restricting him from crossing a border?
  Of course it is a loss of a freedom. Of course it is. The question is whether we are justified in taking away this freedom.
   And, I wonder.
