ABSTRACT

Arash Abizadeh, in his recent contribution, "Democratic Theory and Border Coercion: No Right to Unilaterally Control Your Own Borders," made an argument for the provocative conclusion that states with a commitment to democracy must allow non-citizens a say in determining the immigration policies they enact. I show that Abizadeh's argument fails; he does not prove that a commitment to democracy entails an open borders immigration policy.
