What example illustrates Song’s remedial right?
When a person’s basic interests cannot be protected by their own state—such as in cases of persecution, severe deprivation, or systemic exclusion—migration may be necessary as a remedy rather than a mere opportunity.

What example illustrates Kukathas’ critique of refugee specialness?
A person fleeing famine may face the same threat to life as someone fleeing persecution, yet only one qualifies as a refugee.
What example shows structural injustice in the refugee system?
Visa rules, carrier sanctions, and underfunded camps are each justified individually but together trap refugees in long-term limbo.
What example illustrates indirect racial discrimination?
Points-based immigration systems that favor Western education and experience systematically advantage groups shaped by colonial history.
What example illustrates cultural injustice in selection?
Preferring refugees who speak the host state’s language disadvantages equally vulnerable non-speakers shaped by colonial exclusion.
What example shows arbitrariness in deportation?
Deporting a long-term resident for minor paperwork violations despite deep social ties.
What example captures amnesty as vindication?
Legalizing undocumented migrants because immigration laws were unjust, not because migrants are forgiven for wrongdoing.
What contrast helps explain indirect discrimination in immigration?
A policy that excludes on racial grounds explicitly versus one that excludes through “neutral” criteria like education or language but has the same racialized effects.
(Contrast: intent vs effect.)
What contrastive example shows why Parekh calls the refugee crisis structural?
Even when no state violates refugee law and all actors follow accepted rules, refugees remain stuck in camps and dangerous conditions.
(Contrast: wrongdoing vs systemic failure.)
What contrast explains why deportation is not just border control?
Refusing entry to someone at the border versus deporting someone who has lived, worked, and formed social ties in the state for years.
(Contrast: outsider vs social member.)
What contrast illustrates amnesty as vindication rather than forgiveness?
Granting legal status because migrants are morally blameless versus granting it because immigration laws themselves were unjust.
(Contrast: blaming migrants vs blaming the law.)
