One has no more right to "travel freely" into or across improved land that one does not own [property rights] or for which one has not been granted a right-of-way, easement, or other such instrument [contract rights], any more than one has a right to "education" or "health care" or such. Whether the (improved) land in question is "public" or not is irrelevant. [1] Stated differently, one no more has a "natural right" to (the availability or use of) improved "public" land than one has a "natural right" to (the availability or use of) "public" schools.
It is no more a violation of one's rights to be barred from access to or use of improved but "publicly" owned land (or schools, etc.) than it is a violation of one's rights to be barred from access to or use of privately owned land (or schools, etc.) in the absence of any previously established contractual rights-of-way, easements, etc.
[1] Ideally, "public" (i.e. socially collectivized) land, schools, etc. would not exist at all. But they do - and their existence does not create or conjure up any "rights" that would not otherwise exist in their absence. Rights do not come into or go out of existence contingent upon whether something is "public" or not. Any notion that they do is pinko-commie nonsense (which is why "progressive" leftists are so enamored of "open borders").
Approximately 47% of the land in the U.S. is untouched/undeveloped/unimproved. There are no businesses, homes, schools, farms, easements, roads, airports, military, etc.
Pinko-commie nonsense, huh? lol
Don't confuse "open borders" with the closed border that we have today. Of which where people are being funneled for processing. And I am forced to pay for. Any notion that immigrants by the thousands/millions simply walk across the border without processing is statist nonsense. I would just as soon they didn't get a "free" government card and instead fend for themselves.
Which is precisely why I went out of my way to explicitly specify that I was referring to "improved" land (even going so far as to use that adjective at every opportunity - instead of just once, while leaving other occurrences to be inferred).
Under libertarian theory, immigrants (or any others) may "travel freely" into or across unimproved land (with which they may mix their labor and thereby acquire an ownership stake) - but that is not what they are presently doing (or want or intend to do). Rather, they are merely transiting to improved land ("public" or private), the entrance into or use of which they are not entitled merely to claim by "natural right". Without some already-existing property right (i.e., ownership stake) or contract rights (e.g., rights-of-way, easements, etc.), to deny them access to or use of improved land ("public" or private) is not a violation of their rights.
Yes. lol
The notion that there is a right to "travel freely" that pops into existence just because some (improved) land is "public" is indeed pinko-commie nonsense - just like the notion that there is a right to "education" that pops into existence just because some schools are "public" is also pinko-commie nonsense (and for the same reasons).
I made no reference at all to "the [...] border that we have today" (nor to whether that border is more properly considered to be "closed" or "open"). I was referring to the so-called "open borders" policies favored by progressive leftists, which - like so many (all ?) of their other favored policies - involve the conjuration of "positive" rights from out of nowhere (such as the right to "travel freely" on improved land merely because it is "public").
Government should not be involved in owning and controlling property or human beings.
Serious question: Why should I care???
The Biden administration is flying previously deported Cameroonians whose asylum claims were determined to be invalid back into the United States, according to interviews with Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff and internal agency memos reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
...
But now some are arriving back in the United States under a program with little precedent, both current and former ICE officials say. All of the individuals deported under the previous administration were found not to have valid asylum claims in the United States.
The decision to fly back the previously deported Cameroonians is the latest instance of the Biden administration reversing its predecessor’s immigration initiatives. On his first day in office, President Joe Biden rolled back a number of former president Donald Trump’s border policies and paused southern border wall construction. Biden later ended a policy that forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico before their court hearing, which critics blame for the sharp uptick in illegal border crossings.
"Gutting deportations isn't enough for the Biden administration, so now they're apparently bringing back previously deported illegal aliens," said former ICE official and director of investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies Jon Feere. "These are people who have already had their cases closed, one way or another, and they've been returned home."
Internal memos reviewed by the Free Beacon show an ICE official working with outside nonprofits to help relocate the Cameroonians.
