According to a common argument in defense of border control, legitimate states have a right to exclude on grounds of collective self-determination. I argue that the value of self-determination can also serve as a basis for criticizing states’ immigration policies.

I conclude by tentatively suggesting some potential implications of this argument for broader debates about the governance of migration.
