If I own land, I should be able to invite anyone, anywhere to come stand on it. This idea that you have no right to freedom of movement and travel on Earth is a ridiculous one.
Passports as a concept are only about a hundred years old. Prior to that if you wanted to go somewhere, you just went.
Naturally there's conflicts between different rights, and yours end where other's begin.
In this case one should not be able to jeopardize the safety or well being of their neighbours by inviting

We did have castles for quite some centuries
You are mistaken.
This idea that you are somehow safer next to citizens of your own country and less safe next to citizens of a different country is simply incorrect is citizenship is the discriminator you are using.
Based on your comments in this thread, you seem to have a conclusion to which you are attached, and then work backwards from there. This comment of yours really lays that bare in its ridiculousness.
Is that what you call your country's constitution?
It's the land of your country first, without a country and without a (1T/yr) army, you might have the right to land, but not its exercise. The right to your land is guaranteed by your constitution, and in the same breath it defines that they are sovereign to all of the land in the States. It's not your land first and then the state's sovereign, but the other way around.
Since we are on the subject of the constitution,
"“The Congress shall have Power... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” “To provide for the common Defence…”
So I wasn't too far off with the argument of your neighbours having a say on who you invite over to your land. It seems you are the one with the contrarian viewpoint.
No one is saying states don’t have the right.
States can go even further. They can decide to exit economic unions, trade agreements, etc. You have sovereignty.
Everyone knows you have freedom to play cards as you see fit. Everyone who understands how the game is played, will also make moves accordingly.
There’s nothing to be defensive about.
On another topic, I think neither individuals nor the states, have sovereignity over the land, only The State has. But I may be mistaken.
You have the freedom to be off the grid, but the states have the freedom to reject your entry.
