    Are immigration controls moral?

    This is a paper delivered by Ekklesia associate Vaughan Jones to the inaugural meeting of the Westminster Forum, looking at the ethics of migration, and whether immigration controls are in fact practical, expedient, realistic, necessary or moral. If there is a crisis, whose is it? Should be pursuing a long term policy of the opening up of our borders?

Vaughan Jones is director of Praxis, a multi-agency initiative working with displaced people in London. He is a United Reformed Church minister.
