I believe that save for basic screening for the diseased and criminal, all should be welcome.
I also believe that save for basic safety net (bare sustinence and shelter) for the non-able-bodied, all “entitlements” should be eliminated.
I observe that the unconstitutional proliferation of the latter makes the former untenable.
This nation was founded on anyone coming in and making their own way - and was founded to throw off “redistribution”.

“I believe that save for basic screening for the diseased and criminal, all should be welcome.”

If one million try to come here, should they “all” be welcome?

If thirty million try to come here, should they “all” be welcome?

If 100 million try to come here, should they “all” be welcome?

If 500 million try to come here, should they “all” be welcome?

If one billion try to come here, should they, too, “all” be welcome?

You said “all”.
Words mean things...

I agree hordes should open, ideally, though I don’t it’s a good idea given the Welfare State and generally meddlesome government. Immigration as a natural right, though, is absurd. It would destroy sovereignty, as well as the concept of private property. The idea is that the people own the land, they cede some of their power over to the government, it assumes “eminent domain” authority, and therefore has the power of exclusion. Just like you have the right to bar someone from entering your house (unless they are a SWAT team fishing for drugs), or order someone to leave your house.

It doesn’t actually work that way, but that’s the mythology. And you can’t throw it away without chucking most, maybe all, natural rights.
