Chandran Kukathas has written an ambitious, deeply learned, and engaging book that uses an extensive critique of immigration controls to explore the meanings of the modern state and the free society. His core argument is that immigration controls limit, to a far greater extent than people realize, the freedom of insiders as much as outsiders, of members as much as those seeking membership. Indeed, Kukathas argues that the whole repertoire of terms and categories on which immigration control depends {\textendash} member versus non-member, native born versus foreign, citizen versus alien {\textendash} are unstable constructs of law subject to frequent revision and arbitrary, and increasingly brutal, administration. The book is replete with chilling stories of the perils faced by migrants and dark warnings about the ebbing of freedom for all.
