Abstract
Migration accounts for one of the oldest phenomena in human history. Defined as the movement of people, migration has been happening at all times; sometimes in greater, sometimes in smaller waves, sometimes for economic reasons, other times because of persecution or war. All of these situations are unique and can and have been dealt with in different manners by migrants as well as sending and receiving countries. The current refugee crisis the EU is dealing with, as well as the immigration question in the US especially in terms of immigration through the southern borders, confronts the international community with the question of morality in immigration policy once again.
