Abstract
Joseph Carens is well known for his defence of a general human right to freedom of interstate migration. Michael Blake, by contrast, has argued that, precisely because of the existence of human rights, states have the presumptive right coercively to prevent migrants from entering their territorial jurisdiction; as such, there is no human right to migration. Blake argues that, because states have a moral obligation to protect and fulfil the human rights of all persons in their territory but not elsewhere, when migrants enter a state’s territory, they impose new obligations on it that it did not previously have. He argues, moreover, that because to impose obligations is to impose new burdens, we have a right to refuse to have new obligations imposed on us without our consent. I show that Blake’s argument misconstrues the logical structure of conditional human-rights obligations, and that, once properly construed, it becomes clear that immigrants do not impose new human-rights obligations on states in virtue of their entry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
