    The document discusses different perspectives on international migration and how different countries approach it. It outlines the ethical perspectives of Wellman, who believes countries have a right to exclude immigrants, and Cole, who believes people should be able to cross borders freely. Japan closely follows Wellman's approach to maintain cultural homogeneity, while Germany accepts more immigrants under Cole's ideas. The US uses both approaches by allowing immigration for economic growth but also protecting borders.

    To what extent can

    international migration
    benefit a country?
    The Ethical perspective

    Definitions
    ★ Ethics: The Moral Principles that govern a person's
    behavior.
    ★ Cultural Hegemony: The domination or rule
    maintained through ideological or cultural means often
    through social institutions.
    ★ International Migration: The movement of a person or
    people across an international border.
    ★ Illegal Immigration: The influx of people across a
    country's borders in a way that violates the
    immigration laws of the country, with intentions to
    remain in the country.
    background
    From an ethical perspective there are two main approaches about how a country
    should deal with immigration;

    ● Wellman believes that a state has the right to exclude unwanted members
    through the right of self-determination. However, he still believes that a
    legitimate country is obligated to help other countries in need.

    ● Cole believes that borders are simply lines drawn in the earth to divide people
    and that people should be able to cross them freely; this approach claims that
    the moral obligation to help your fellow man is above any country’s laws.
    Japan (Global)
    Japan closely follows the Wellman approach to
    immigration. This maintains Japan’s cultural hegemony.
    This is easy because 98.5% of the population is ethnic
    Japanese people. The other 1.5% are made of up of
    Koreans, Chinese, Peruvians and Brazilians who are of
    mainly Japanese descent.
    Japan has introduced a points-based immigration system to
    better attract professional people. This process adds up
    skills like advanced degrees and language skills that help
    the applicant to earn a permanent residency.
    Japan (Global)
    In 2015, Japan was the world’s fourth largest
    foreign aid donor with roughly 10 billion US
    dollar. However, only 28 asylum seeker
    applications were accepted out of 16,000 in
    2016- keeping with the Wellman approach.
    Due to Japan's ageing population its economy
    is predicted to collapse in 2050 due to labor
    shortages. This is forcing Japan to re-define its
    immigration policies.
    Germany (Global)
    Germany, under Chancellor Angela Merkel, is more
    closely following Cole’s ideas of immigration.
    Germany has the largest economy in Europe; it has a
    population of almost 81 million people and 20% of
    the population are immigrants. In 2016 Germany
    received approximately 720,000 asylum seekers,
    making it one of the most popular refugee states.
    This lead to a net increase in population of 428,000;
    this is nearly 4 times higher than in 2003. Due to
    this increase, immigrants have helped stabilize
    insurance and pension funds and increased the
    workforce.
    A graph of the net amount of immigrants in Germany
    America (Local)

    The U.S. immigration policy contains both


    Wellman and Cole aspects. The total
    amount of foreign-born U.S. citizens is
    estimated to be at 44.7 million and 11
    million of them are here illegally. Today
    immigrants account for 13.5% of the U.S.
    population.
    America (Local)

    According to Wellman’s ideas the U.S. should secure its


    southern border to prevent illegal immigration and
    therefore keep out undesirables. America has a tiered
    system that gives priority to needed professionals and
    entrepreneurs. The Wellman approach also says to
    provide aid to countries in need and in 2018 the U.S.
    contributed to Mexico more than $87,000,000 to causes
    such as preventing violence.
    America (Local)
    Cole’s approach to illegal immigration
    would be to relax border security and
    accept more immigrants. In 2016 there
    was a net outflow of Mexicans making
    the southern border less important.
    Allowing international migration will
    increase diversity and the U.S. GDP. US
    immigration policy also promotes
    reunification of families.
    Solutions
    My solution is to create a fund that requires all countries to
    provide support to combat violence around the world and
    provide a safe and livable space for people.

    My specific solutions include certain political reforms such as:

    ● Making the refugee/ asylum seeker processes faster and


    more effective; this would promote legal immigration as
    currently it can take several years.
    ● Creating a system that provides a quota to
    underprivileged people from neighboring countries to
    immigrate, such as from Mexico to the U.S.
    ● Streamlining the process of deporting illegal immigrants.
    Conclusion
    The ethical perspective towards immigration varies
    between countries;

    ● Japan closely follows the Wellman approach to


    maintain cultural homogeneity.

    ● Germany follows Cole’s ideas and invites and


    shelters immigrants.

    ● America uses both perspectives to create


    population and economic growth while
    protecting their citizens.
