There Is No Moral Right to Immigrate to the United States
Public Affairs Quarterly 14 (2):141-158 (2000)
Abstract
U.S. citizens have a right to exclude potential immigrants. This right rests in part on the threat immigration poses to change the character of the institutions to which the current citizens have consented and in part on the threat immigrants pose to the citizens' rights to collective property. This right is probably not opposed by a human right to immigrate since such a right cannot be supported by arguments from equality, fairness, legitimate state authority, or libertarianism.Author's Profile
