In this essay\, I aim to develop one of the building blocks of a complete liberal theory of immigration by defending an account of the state&rsquo\;s right to exclude which has the resources to explain what is wrong with discriminatory exclusion in the area of immigration&mdash\;that is\, exclusion on the basis of morally arbitrary features\, such as gender and race. Like other liberal partialists\, I appeal to a right to self-determination to justify a state&rsquo\;s right to exclude. But unlike these theorists\, I do not appeal to the alleged psychological harm of insult. My focus is instead on the liberal aspect of self-determination and the surprising ways in which liberal principles constrain the state&rsquo\;s right to both include and exclude prospective new members. \;
