As Americans we still struggle with what is right and wrong with our immigration system, we should look at the basic premise of the issue, is immigration a basic human right.
Libertarians and progressives look at the issue from a freedom of association stand point. We are free to associate with whom ever we like. I do agree with this up to a certain point. Like all of our basic human rights (and they are finite not infinite) we can exercise them, but we can’t force others to except our exercising of those rights. We have freedom of speech, however we can’t force people to listen to us. We have a right to bear arms and protect ourselves, however private property rights come into play here, in that if I don’t want weapons on my private property, that’s my right also.
Freedom of association also works this way. We as a society set up rules for coming here and associating with us. You are free to associate with whomever you want, but your not free to force that association on me our on society as a whole.
Rights are not absolute, we can’t violate others rights while trying to exercise our rights. There is a difference between public and private property. Rights in the public domain must be given the broadest latitude when exercising them, but they can not violate personal, or private property rights while being exercised.
Daily Bible reading: 1Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
