People don’t have free agency to move to any country they want. In my view the free agency which you say is being removed never actually existed in the first place.

I didn’t say people had free agency to go to any country they want. You are presenting a false dichotomy. There are different people with different access to different places with different senses of urgency and for different reasons.
