520    "How should we, citizens of rich countries, respond to the
       claims of the many millions of people world-wide who want 
       to immigrate and settle in our societies? Their reasons 
       are often compelling - they are fleeing mass poverty or 
       political persecution - but the impact that fully open 
       borders would have on the life of the societies that the 
       immigrants would join is also immense. This books defends 
       democratic states' rights to control their borders, and 
       powerfully criticizes the arguments offered in support of 
       international freedom of movement - common ownership of 
       the earth, global equality of opportunity, and the human 
       right to immigrate. It explains why states have rights 
       over territory that permit them to exclude outsiders, and 
       why democracies are entitled to decide who they will 
       accept as future citizens. But it also sets out the 
       parameters of a just immigration policy."--Provided by
