“The freedom to migrate is, on my view, absolutely required by serious libertarianism. No serious libertarian can endorse forcibly constraining individuals acting peacefully and productively. To deny people elsewhere the right of entry is to forcibly constrain them from acting peacefully and productively. To deny people here the right to hire, marry, house, sell to, or otherwise engage with, people from elsewhere by bringing them here is to forcibly constrain them from acting peacefully and productively. … Given that, I have always been a fan of open immigration, believing the only justified limits were those designed to keep out known criminals — those known to do actual harm, actively violating the legitimate rights of others (not merely breaking the law by entering the country). Still, there are arguments against allowing immigration.” (07/07/25)
