Episode Description

In contrast to most theoretical discussions on immigration that commence with philosophical ideas and subsequently derive conclusions from them, this book adopts a distinct approach. It starts with actual cases and immigration policies from the United States, Mexico, Central America, and Colombia to assess immigration control and prepare us to confront it. Each chapter begins with particular immigration policies, practices, or immigrant experiences in the U.S. and Latin America, then analyzes them through the perspective of global oppression. This enables us to identify what renders these situations unethical and prepares us to react to such injustices and improve the lives of immigrants. This work stands out as one of the first thorough examinations of immigration ethics that also includes Central and South America alongside the U.S. and Mexico.
