This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)

No standard moral framework, be it utilitarian, libertarian, egalitarian, Rawlsian, Christian, or any other well-developed perspective, regards people from foreign lands as less entitled to exercise their rights-or as inherently possessing less moral worth-than people lucky to have been born in the right place at the right time.

Nationalism, of course, discounts the rights, interests, and moral value of "The Other, but this disposition is inconsistent with our fundamental moral teachings and beliefs.The immigrant who mows the lawn of the nuclear physicist indirectly helps to unlock the secrets of the universe.Freedom of movement is a basic human right. Thus the Universal Declaration of Human Rights belies its name when it proclaims this right only"within the borders of each state.
