Abstract
The current discussion over the ethical propriety of using environmental degradation arguments to restrict immigration is at an impasse. One group argues from a neo-liberal globalization perspective and rejects such arguments, while the other take a more internationalist approach accepting restrictions. I argue that the neo-liberal position is seriously flawed since it leads to the elimination of 'places'-a morally important category-and that from an internationalist view immigration restriction based on environmental degradation is ethically justifiable.
