Edward Hall critiques the prevalent philosophical literature on immigration, emphasizing that while it addresses the right of states to exclude migrants, it largely ignores how immigration controls impact real-world situations. He specifically highlights Christopher Heath Wellman’s work, which, despite exploring vital issues related to migration, fails to discuss the ethical dimensions of immigration control methods. Hall argues for a more nuanced examination of not just the right to control borders but the moral ramifications of how such control is executed, especially in light of contemporary practices in Global North democracies.
Much of the philosophical discourse on immigration focuses on states' rights without considering real-world practices of immigration control, neglecting moral implications.
While discussing open borders, many philosophers, including Wellman, overlook the question of morally acceptable methods of immigration control in practice.
