I think that your third principle has also been largely damaged as a moral question at least in America. “What is morally acceptable to do to an uninvited outsider?” In a lot of people’s minds the answer is whatever you want. Things like castle doctrine have led to a “shoot first, don’t bother asking questions, just assume the worst” ideology propagating through our culture.
Well, in all fairness that one specifically isn’t really a principle and more of a slot were you fit one or more principles, for example the principles behind Human Rights and Justice.
But yeah, people for whom other people have no inherent rights and whose view in general of what is Just (and hence of Justice) reflects that, will have abhorrent ideas about what is acceptable to do to uninvited guests, so it is entirelly logical for somebody who thinks somebody entering their house uninvited should be shot to also think extreme force should be used against illegal immigrants.
However, my point is that even such people might be made to have a different views towards Legal Immigrants and Refugees if the take on the whole subject of Immigration also includes the Duty Of Help and the Duty Of A Host Towards Invited Guests.
As it stands now, such people are simply against “Immigrants” as one big blob.
