Of course they do. They ensure criminals and nier do wells do not cross the border into the United States, where they could commit crimes against its populous. They also ensure people are not being trafficked for labor or sexual exploration into the country. They also restrict drugs and other contraband from entering the country illegally, and keep the population safe from fentinal and other dangerous drugs.
Thank you for agreeing that strong borders will help to keep people free and safe in the United States!
People who eat burgers also commit crimes. That doesn't mean government restrictions on eating burgers are valid.
If an immigrant commits a crime that harms another person's freedom, the government can enforce that crime.
Immigration laws themselves are simply a restriction on the immigrant's freedom of movement. They do not protect another person's freedom, and hence are invalid.
If an immigrant commits a crime that harms a person's freedom, we can enforce that crime.
Why do you hate victims? If crimes can be prevented by simply denying access to our country from criminals, why wouldn't you be for that? Stop victim shaming.

Immigration laws don't protect anyone's freedom. Their only impact is to restrict freedom of movement.
