Immigration justice

Higgins, Peter W - Nama Orang

Immigration Justice is the culmination of over seven years of work that began in the fall of 2005, when I wrote a short paper examining the global egalitarian potential of “open borders.” Judging that paper to be inadequate by itself for defending the central thought underlying my views on the justice of states’ immigrant admissions policies, I resolved to continue writing on and researching the topic until I could clearly articulate and convincingly defend that central underlying thought. This book is the product of those efforts. I owe thanks to many people who have contributed directly to its existence and success.Thom Brooks, editor of the series of which this book is part, has enthusiastically supported the book since I first sent him my proposal in 2011. In the most literal sense, Immigration Justice would not exist but for him! I am extremely grateful to Thom, both for his encouragement and insightful editorial comments, as well as to the staff at Edinburgh University Press (Nicola Ramsey, Michelle Houston, Eddie Clark, and Rebecca Mackenzie) with whom I have worked, for their helpfulness and patience with me from proposal to publication
