Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 10 of the Mosser text, the article Immigration (Links to an external site.), and review S. Immigration Policy, Past and Present (Links to an external site.), including all timeline pages and videos. The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to apply ethical theories and perspectives to the issue of immigration.
What ethical and moral responsibility does the government of one country have to people who wish to immigrate from another country? How does this responsibility change, if at all, depending on factors such as
the political or economic stability/instability of the immigrants home country;
the political or economic stability/instability of the country the immigrant is seeking admission to;
the legal or illegal status of the immigrant within a host country; or
demographic variables pertaining to the immigrant such as his or her wealth, income, ethnicity, educational background, political status, family size, or other relevant variables?
