So I can walk into your house as long as I start chipping in for rent and buy some of the groceries myself?

Your house belongs to you. The earth, or portions thereof, does not exclusively belong to a group of people just because they happened to live there currently.

In any case, in many of these countries ( including the US) where people are rabidly advocating for curbs on movement, the majority of the population brutally displaced people who had lived there for thousands of years. By your own logic they have been breaking the law for a long time.

“The earth, or portions thereof, does not exclusively belong to a group of people just because they happened to live there currently.”

That’s kind of the definition of a country.
