Details

There is a great deal of debate over whether states can permissibly exclude non-citizens, and which non-citizens they can permissibly exclude. This online workshop focuses on which means of exclusion are morally permissible. For example, it is not clear when (if ever) detention for a given individual is just, even if the state has a general right to exclude this individual. Moreover, even if states act unjustly whenever excluding migrants, certain means of discouraging migration may be justified, such as providing aid to low-income states with the hope of discouraging migration from these states. The workshop will discuss these and other topics relating to immigration enforcement.
