"Skilled Workers, Family Unification, and Immigration"

by Schaff, Kory (2019)

Abstract

This piece outlines an argument against recent changes in U.S. immigration policy that aim to give priority in admissions to skilled workers rather than family members seeking unification. I argue that democratic states have a moral obligation to admit individuals seeking unification with family members, rather than give priority to skilled workers.
