One possible reason would be that the people in Sudan need Widad’s services more than Canadians do.

Canada should force its doctors to work in Sudan.

A more popular argument is that Widad has special obligations to the people of Sudan.

The final step in Wellman’s argument is to claim that the same is true for immigration as well.
Note:FINAL STEP

1.The right to self-determination of states gives them the right to choose with whom they wish to associate. 2.Immigrants associate with the state. 3.Therefore, states with a right to self-determination have a right to choose whether or not to allow immigration.

Individualist self-determination does not apply to states.
Note:LA PREMESSA 1 È FALSA NELL OTTICA INDIVIDUALISTA

The crux, then, is whether immigrants seek to associate with the state as a collective—and not, for example, with its members as individual persons.

Compare someone (call him Ahmed) successfully immigrating into a country like Canada, with Canada successfully joining the United States in some treaty. Wellman thinks that Ahmed and the United States are similarly placed with respect to Canada. But this is false.

This latter idea, that our rights and freedoms need to be given to us, things to be granted only after first being coerced by some state institution, is extremely implausible.

The idea here is that basic freedoms are afforded to people as a condition of state legitimacy, not fundamental moral requirements that people might claim against the state.

Intentionally or not, restrictive labor and business regulations in Europe have contributed to the formation of an underclass of second- and third-generation immigrants living in poverty and without opportunity. When roughly a quarter of people under the age of 24 are unemployed, as they are in places like Sweden and France, immigrants and their children are the first to lose out.
