If I want to live in Dublin, Durban, Dallas or Duabai in the morning why should I not be allowed to do so?

Why shouldn't people be allowed to live wherever they choose?

Why do you think you're entitled to utterly unhindered movement across the borders of sovereign nations? Surely you have the right to determine who may and may not enter your house? Well, so do nations.

Because it is not so simple. There are limits on how much the infrastructure built on any given place can handle. Overpopulation brings a set of problems.

Why don't those limits apply to wealthy people?
It is so simple. One believes in freedom or one doesn't.

They should.
Well you're free to that, but I'd have to disagree. I'm all for freedom and equality before the law, but with the (within reason) caveat attached.

They do apply, its just easier for the rich to meet the criteria that those limits entail.

Would you obey the laws and pay the taxes?

Because the reality of the world is not the same everywhere and you're smart enough to know why that is a problem.
Er... you can. You can do whatever you want, provided you're capable of getting there.
Whether or not you do so legally is another matter.
Because governments want them to spend money in their country. Money equals freedom in a materialistic world.
Maybe in a perfect world that would be fine. I am an American and can live in any city in America that starts with 'D' (or any other letter I fancy).
But for the order of society and the world the masses of lets say people from third world countries just moving to first world countries would at this time be detrimental to both the third world (brain drain) and first world countries. So, at this point in world development, we need immigration policy (which does not allow unrestricted movement across the globe).

Just ignore immigration laws. Millions of people do everyday.
The wealthy are far more likely to benefit their new home country.
I'm not saying it's right...it just is.
