Distributive Justice
In every nation, there are all sorts of issues within the society that can sometimes be resolved more easily or quickly than others. However, an issue like immigration is somewhat challenging and complex to many rich or more developed countries worldwide. As for the United States, the issue of undocumented immigrants has been one of the major problems that leaves the society with significant questions of justice: from whether the U.S. government immigration laws are just or unjust, to the question of immigration status that should or should not be legalized.

People all have their own ideas on the discussion and some bring in principles of justice from philosophical viewpoints to be a guide to conclude of how this problem can possibly be solved and how the society should turn out, based on their theories and beliefs. For me, I will argue that the United State’s distribution of immigration status is unjust due to my personal perspectives on justice. I believe that since all the immigrants; legal or not, are humans like all of us, they do have human rights and so they should be treated equally, or at least, better than how they have been treated. As true as it is when considering of human rights, it seems that nowhere could human rights be more impacted than the ones on the U.S.-Mexico border.
