The notion that immigrants have a right to immigrate to the U.S. appears to conflict with the government or citizens’ property rights. Michael Huemer has given one of the most interesting and provocative arguments on immigration in years. It turns the dominant view on its head. Unfortunately, the argument
fails. U.S. citizens own land, individually, collectively, and via their government. For immigrants to gain a right to enter it, Huemer must think that the landowners have lost their rights to their land, the landowners’ rights are overridden, or the landowners’ rights are undermined. He does not show that any of these are true. A separate issue and one not discussed here is whether it is a wise policy to reduce or end immigration to the United States.
