Here’s the April forum of “Ethical Issues in Our Times.”. Feel free to share this with any people you think may be interested.
“Can a Democratic Community Maintain Open Borders?”
There are many who claim that the United States should open its borders to all who wish to enter. Others say we should welcome those who are seeking to better their standard of living. Still others say we have a moral obligation only to those who are fleeing oppression? While there are those who insist that we should keep our borders closed until we have adequately addressed the needs of our current population. Then there are many who argue that we need more immigrants to sustain, or fuel, our economic growth, and avoid economic stagnation. And still others think that we already have enough people, with some even arguing that more people – especially if they aspire to a “decent standard of living” – will only further the destructive pressure on our environment. Join us in discussing this vital and pressing issue.
Join us in discussing these pressing social issues, in a discussion led by Dr. David Sprintzen, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Long Island University. Please be advised: Because of recent unpleasant interruptions, our zoom will be closed at 7:10pm, and no one will be allowed to join thereafter.
This is the April installment of “Ethical Issues in OurTimes”: a product of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island.
Thursday, April 6th, from 7-9pm on zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/896985586
