| Sumario: | In this article we argue for a world in which open borders are the rule and not the exception. This argument is based on the general recognition of ius migrandias a basic right of persons. An open-border immigration policy is preferable—atleast from a normative standpoint—to the typical policies designed to control or block borders through the simplistic mode of constructing walls. On the basis of a global conception of distributive justice as suggested by cosmopolitan egalitarians,we claim that open-door policies—or, failing in that, the implementation of a system of economic compensation for poor countries—provide powerful means to respond to the enormous inequalities that exist between countries and represent an appropriate way to order current migratory flows. |
