In the last decades, an ethical debate on the question of the state's power to regulate immigration has taken place in the Anglo-Saxon academic world. In this article, I expose the different positions held in that debate and make some remarks on the open borders position. My points are the following: the arguments for the open borders position imply the illigitimacy of the state, and the actualization of such a position would probably cause the weakening and, eventually, the collapse of either the state or democracy; at present, economical and financial global power - instead of supranational institutions able to provide global justice and to protect human rights - are taking advantage from the weakening of states.

Abstract

In the last decades, an ethical debate on the question of the state's power to regulate immigration has taken place in the Anglo-Saxon academic world. In this article, I expose the different positions held in that debate and make some remarks on the open borders position. My points are the following: the arguments for the open borders position imply the illigitimacy of the state, and the actualization of such a position would probably cause the weakening and, eventually, the collapse of either the state or democracy; at present, economical and financial global power - instead of supranational institutions able to provide global justice and to protect human rights - are taking advantage from the weakening of states.
