民主国家单方面控制下的封闭边境入境政策是否合法的问题，只有在我们首先知道控制制度的合理性应归功于谁之后才能得到解决。根据国家主权观点，对入境政策（包括迁徙、移民和入籍）的控制应由国家自行单方面决定：入境政策的合理性完全取决于成员。然而，这一立场与人民主权的民主理论不一致。因此，任何在国内接受政治合法性民主理论的人都致力于拒绝单方面控制国家边界的国内权利。因为民主理论的民主原则上是不受限制的，所以边界控制制度必须在外国人和公民都可以参与的政治机构中对外国人和公民都具有民主的正当性。
The question of whether a closed border entry policy under the unilateral control of a democratic state is legitimate cannot be settled until we first know to whom the justification of a regime of control is owed. According to the state sovereignty view, the control of entry policy, including of movement, immigration, and naturalization, ought to be under the unilateral discretion of the state itself: justification for entry policy is owed solely to members. This position, however, is inconsistent with the democratic theory of popular sovereignty. Anyone accepting the democratic theory of political legitimation domestically is thereby committed to rejecting the unilateral domestic right to control state boundaries. Because the demos of democratic theory is in principle unbounded, the regime of boundary control must be democratically justified to foreigners as well as to citizens, in political institutions in which both foreigners and citizens can participate.
