Mathias Risse on Free Immigration
Mathias Risse rolls out the aspect of humanity while looking at the immigration policy, thinking that this world belongs to humans and that everyone should be given the right to move here and there. According to him, we only deem how this thing (immigration) is good for us (country) and debates on immigration policies (Risse, 2008). He oversees the idea of global justice.
Mathias Risse admits that if a state sees immigration policies only through the glass of humanity, it will not be able to meet its targets economically and politically. However, it is totally understandable that the state can be committed toward achieving certain goals for overall prosperity or it would not be able to keep the culture and traditions in their true shape. With what has been just said, it is also true that thinking in this way only shows self-interest.
It has been long argued that allowing immigrants to arrive and penetrate into culture means that the native culture will lose its values one day, urging the people who practice them to squeeze. However, this standpoint holds no significance as the culture is how people live in a setting and it does not need to be preserved. It is not justifiable to give more resources to one culture over the other.
Mathias Risse mentions that the immigration policies are in a need of reform because all countries are restricting the movement of people and no moral consideration is given in these decisions. An example of the united states has been given, where hostile immigration policy is prevailing, and a feeling of hate for immigrants is brewing amongst the natives. The concept of common ownership is completely ignored, and all these immigration policies are full of biases.
To elaborate his position on immigration further, the author again mentions that the United States is where the population is far lesser than the space it controls. The government is also not using its full resources to accommodate the existing citizens, so how it can be proved that having more people in the country will soak up the resources. Space and resources are underused; thus, it generates the vacuum. The illegal immigrants in the country should be naturalized so that they can contribute to the economy rather than working in the black market away from the radar.
Risse discusses the immigration on the global level as the mean of satisfaction for people who care to seek it. Here he means that if the resources are equally divided and no lines are drawn between the immigrants and natives, there will be widespread happiness. The immigrants send remittances back to their home countries so their families can have access to many things to live a better life. Restricting them from doing so by using various measures is not humane.
It is down to the government to ensure that their policies are effective and efficient and that there are enough in...
