What obligations—if any—does a host nation have to those willing to or interested in immigrating? What obligations do immigrants have to their new host nation? How does a culture or a nation claim legitimate ownership over property, land, or a nation? How is this legitimacy challenged? Are the goals of “civilizing” or spreading knowledge, religion, or some other value ever justified in terms of “conquering” or assimilating a culture?
