This book provides a philosophical defence of open borders. Two
policy dogmas are the right of sovereign states to restrict
immigration and the infeasibility of opening borders. These dogmas
persist in face of the human suffering caused by border controls
and in spite of a global economy where the mobility of goods and
capital is combined with severe restrictions on the movement of
most of the world's poor. Alex Sager argues that immigration
restrictions violate human rights and sustain unjust global
inequalities, and that we should reject these dogmas that deprive
hundreds of millions of people of opportunities solely because of
their place of birth. Opening borders would promote human freedom,
foster economic prosperity, and mitigate global inequalities. Sager
contends that studies of migration from economics, history,
political science, and other disciplines reveal that open borders
are a feasible goal for political action, and that citizens around
the world have a moral obligation to work toward open borders.
