States that this is a freedom and that it is linked to other liberties. There is a right to emigration, but nothing that acknowledges the right to immigrate. State minimal: goal: protect rights against violence protects citizens and foreigners equally. H. sidgwick : individuals may enter freely into exchanges can recruit foreign labor can exclude as individuals, not as a group. Og position: what principles would people choose if they know nothing of their own position? (veil of ignorance) Equal liberty for all : not reduced for economic gain. Social and economic inequality are acceptable (protective of least well-off) If you had the og perspective, no one would agree to restrictions on mobility. Principles by which social goods are distributed concrete and we =existing community.
