Discussion Post: Ethnic Studies Immigration & International Obligations

The videos describe a few of ways that one might attempt to argue for the claims that,

1. US citizens are morally obligated to help another nation's adults and/or children by allowing them entry into the US.
2. US citizens are not morally obligated to help another nation's adults and/or children by allowing them entry into he US.

Task

I. Select and provide an analysis of one of the PRO IMMIGRATION arguments described in this week's videos/outline. Tell us which one you select and briefly summarize/restate it in your own words. Then, describe what you consider to be its strengths and weaknesses. For example, does each of the argument's reasons seem to be true, plausible, etc.? Or, might one of more of the reasons seem false, implausible, etc.? Does the argument provide all that's needed to convince one that its conclusion is true? If not, then what's missing? Does the argument rely upon, assume, and/or incorporate some widely accepted/shared values/disvalues? Such will tend to make an ethical/moral argument more convincing. Or, might its assumed values/disvalues be too vague, too infrequently shared, etc., to be of much help?

II. Select and provide an analysis of one of the CON IMMIGRATION arguments described in this week's videos/outline. Tell us which one you select and briefly summarize/restate it in your own words. Then, describe what you consider to be its strengths and weaknesses. For example, does each of the argument's reasons seem to be true, plausible, etc.? Or, might one of more of the reasons seem false, implausible, etc.? Does the argument provide all that's needed to convince one that's its conclusion is true? If not, then what's missing? Does the argument rely upon, assume, and/or incorporate some widely accepted/shared values/disvalues? Such will tend to make an ethical/moral argument more convincing. Or, might its assumed values/disvalues be too vague, too infrequently shared, etc., to be of much help?

III. Your decision. After considering the variety of PRO/CON immigration arguments described in this week's videos/outline, does it seem likely that US citizens have a moral obligation to help another nation's adults and/or children by allowing them into the US. If so, why so? If not, why not?
