Abstract
In this essay I extend Joseph Carens’s arguments in The Ethics of Immigration to fit a world in which migration happens on a greater scale, and for different reasons, than he envisioned. Some subset of those most heavily impacted by climate-driven environmental disasters will become climate refugees. They will be owed non-refoulement and, following Carens, permanent resettlement with an opportunity to establish membership in a new state. For those who are climate migrants, the ethical response is open borders. These ethical responses to people on the move, however, must be bolstered by funding for mitigation and adaptation that make it possible for people to choose voluntary immobility – a right to stay home.

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
