This book is a political philosophy theory work discussing immigration issues. When a large number of people migrate from one country to another, it often brings serious problems to both the sending and receiving countries. How should Western countries deal with the millions of people who want to settle in their societies? Economists and human rights advocates tend to downplay the huge cultural and demographic impact of immigrants on host countries. "The Stranger Among Us" seeks a balance between the rights of immigrants and the legitimate concerns of the people, and prescribes a dose of realism to boost this controversy. Author David Miller defends the right of democratic countries to control their borders and determine the future size, shape and cultural composition of their population. He argues that a reasonable immigration policy must distinguish between refugees and economic migrants, and determine whether these two types of immigrants are accepted.
本书是一本讨论移民问题的政治哲学理论著作。当大量人口从一个国家迁移到另一个国家,往往会给移民迁出国和接受国都带来严重的问题。西方国家应如何应对数以百万计希望在其社会中定居的人?经济学家和人权倡导者倾向于淡化移民对东道主国家在文化和人口学上的巨大影响。《我们中的陌生人》在移民的权利和民众的合理关切之间寻求平衡,给这番争议开了一剂现实主义的提振药方。作者戴维·米勒对民主国家控制其边界与决定其人口的未来规模、形态和文化构成的权利进行了辩护。他提出合理的移民政策必须把难民和经济移民区分开来,并确定这两类移民在被接
