Freedom cannot Withhold its Blessings from Those Who do no Harm

    Freedom cannot withhold its blessings from those who do no harm, not if it would truly be freedom. If a person crosses a border into another country, and that country rejects him or her simply on the basis they arrived without permission, that country meddles with its right to be called a free country. In regards to immigration, it no longer is one.

    If the person arriving is not running from a crime, nor showing clear evidence of coming to commit one, that person should be admitted. What is the argument against this? That we cannot take in all the people who would come? 

   Look at our 50 states. There are no restriction on moving from one state to another. It is clear in our minds that such restrictions would be an invasion of freedom. And, has this lack of restriction allowed California to be overrun? Yes and no. Much of California is so overrun that we've had congestion, pollution, homelessness, and out-of-sight real estate prices. If the U.S. is the land of dreams, California has been the embodiment. Go there and your dreams will know no limit, you might even become a movie star, or a singer, or real estate mogul.

   There has been no law restricting movement to California. No one has said, If we allow everyone to move to California, everyone living in poverty in the other 49 states are going to move there. 

   Some rights are inalienable. The right to move from one state to another is such. And, the right to move from one country to another is, by the same token. Oh, you can take that right away. You can restrict people from coming. But, if you do, you will not be a fully free country, that's all.
