policies that grant newborns of citizens (or residents) full member-
ship of society without questions asked. This paper asks what, if
anything, can justify this differential treatment of the two types of
newcomers. It explores arguments for differential treatment based
on the differential environmental impact, different impact on the
(political) culture of the society in question and differences between
the positions of the newcomers themselves. I conclude that,
although some justification for differential treatment exists, the
case for it is weaker than one may expect and the grounds on
which it can be justified are surprising and problematic.
