Migration has certainly become an important, divisive, and emo-tionally saturated topic. The following text offers a brief and rea-dable analysis of the pivotal issue of sovereignty in relation to immigration policy. It questions a presumption that had passed as unquestionable for many years. Should the international law con-tinue to start from a presumption of the sovereignty of states in relation to immigration policy, or should we now, facing unprece-dented human suffering of countless human beings on the move, fugitives and economic migrants alike, recognize the time for fun-damental paradigm shift? This argumentative essay confronts two distinct visions for international migration law before reaching the final conclusions.
