User:Vipul/The Ethics of Immigration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ethics of Immigration (Oxford Political Theory) is a September 2013 book by philosopher Joseph Carens.[1]

Structure of the book

[edit]

The first eight chapters of the book argue for a robust system of migrant rights and equal treatment of migrants and natives, while conceding the legitimacy of nation-states and their discretionary control over migration. The ninth and tenth chapter discuss illegal immigrants, family reunification, and refugees. The eleventh chapter argues for open borders, and challenges the presumption of discretionary control over migration, while still staying within the framework of legitimacy of nation-states.[2][3]

Reception

Interviews and self-promotion
