The moral argument for freedom of immigration.

I'm interested in having a discussion on immigration policy. I think everyone here agrees that the only role of government should be the protection of individual rights within a geographical area. That means the freedom to act within your own best interests to the best of your judgement. I propose that this includes the freedom to decide where you want to live. Unless you threaten force or fraud on another individual, what gives a moral government the right to deny you the ability to act in your own interests?

I'm under the impression a number of people in the Gulch disagree with this view and that's why I'm posting this, because of I'm wrong I want to know why. I don't care to listen to a bunch of sycophants agree with me, I have nothing to gain from that.
