ABSTRACT:
Last fall, Atossa Araxia Abrahamian wrote a bracing essay for The Nation that criticized progressives in the United States who oppose free migration and defend the existence of nation-states. We should not, she argued, promote "the idea that someone arbitrarily born on the wrong side of a line is less deserving of a good life" or "play by the far right's rules" that, in part, "got us into this mess."
