ABSTRACT: Throughout the following thesis I will strive to answer the question: of whether or not Western affluent countries are morally and unconditionally obligated by social contract and moral commitment to allow entry and citizenship of refugees in France, Italy, and the United States. I will use the article by David Miller “Immigration: A Case for Limits” to highlight how the average Western mind considers refugees and how his arguments deliberately go against the rights and protocols of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1951 and 1967 Geneva Conventions relating to the Status of Refugees. I will provide real life examples, highlighting past year events of discrimination trends against the Muslim community and consequently, refugees.
