> immigration control...is something it's supposed to be doing

This is not a belief that enjoys consensus. I don't want my government telling people where they can and cannot move, nor do I think it has any moral authority to draw imaginary lines on the earth.

Do you intend for that position to include personal property rights? There are some days when I'm just tired and would love to flop on the nearest bed, regardless of who lives in that house/apartment.

No I don't.

A sense of boundaries for a person or small community does strike me as so completely contrary to nature as an authority which claims dominion over an entire continent.
