![]() As a whole, Earned Citizenship provides a non-humanitarian justification for legalising unauthorised immigrants based on their contributions to citizens and institutions in their adopted nation. This argument is part of a broader project in political theory and public policy aimed at reconciling civic republicanism with a feminist ethic of care, and its emphasis on dependency work. The book also considers the civic value of caregiving as a service to citizens and the country, contending that family immigration policies should be expanded to recognise the importance of caregiving duties for dependents. Military service in particular would merit naturalisation in countries with a strong citizen-soldier tradition, including the United States. Their service would act as restitution for immigration law violations. The author of this book argues that long-term unauthorised immigrant residents should be able to earn legalisation and a pathway to citizenship through service in their adopted communities. ![]()
