“Strawman alert. Every nation has the power to defend its borders. Our rights do not extend to foreign nationals, just as their tyrannies do not extend to us until/unless we choose to make ourselves subject to them.”
Nope, you said the right to travel is a “natural right” and natural rights apply to all men, regardless of nationality, or they apply to none. Either government can restrict this “right to travel”, in which case, all that is left to do is argue which restrictions are proper, and you would have to make an actual logical argument as to why restrictions at airports are not justified, or government cannot restrict this right, and you must support open borders. Pick one position; you cannot pick both.
“You “argue” like a democrat.”
I’m sorry, but it is your argument that would result in a right for anyone to cross our borders at will, since YOU are the one claiming that governments can’t place any restrictions on some “natural right” to travel. I’m just pointing out the logical conclusion of your flawed argument.
