Ah…… yes, that is true, however, the people of the country have a say in who to let in, when to let them in and how to let them in. This is even recognized as a human right by the United Nations of all places. Invasions are not supported to take place. If the people don’t want it, it shouldn’t go, in these modern times. Isn’t that right? No invasions of freedonia by slaveocracy and or the reverse. Isn’t that right? So, if the locals decide that you cannot work in their country, you don’t work. I seem to remember India applying these exact rules to foreigners, when I was there. They controlled what foreigners could do rather strictly. Do they expect something different by other peoples?
As a matter of rights, I disagree, but I can see why there are some current practical realities that might require something like that.
As Rothbard said, "All rights are property rights." If I want to hire someone from another country and someone else is willing to rent them a house and someone else is willing to sell them groceries and so on, no one else has a right to intervene just because they're Americans.

Yes, there is nothing but property rights. The problem is if someone, say for instance, the state is putting the costs off on me or you, it is an encroachment on our property rights. As I understand it, right now, the "new immigrants" are being ushered in with money from our government which is being stolen from us. They are being given large sums of money to invade us. FTS

It's not clear what we can conclude from that, though. How does the state violating my rights confer on me a right to violate someone else's?
I think we just go further into error whenever we embrace rights violations, no matter how reasonable/necessary they seem.
Our priority and focus should always be on solving problems by reducing rights violations, rather than introducing new ones.

It doesn't confer any rights to you. You already have the right to self-defend.

I agree. We have to find the solutions to these problems. I do know of one good solution to the rights violations problem: get rid of the state!
