theses

In his article on migration and democracy, published in 2018 by Reclam-Verlag , Angeli takes up an idea of ​​the Nobel laureate in economics, Gary Becker , and advocates the thesis that those who pay a defined price should have the right to live and work in a host country. He sees this as an effective means of regulating and organizing immigration to Europe . He emphasizes that, in contrast to Becker, he provides that the immigrant should be repaid a large part of this in the event of a return.

Angeli promotes a fundamentally philosophical examination of the topic of migration and sees this as a way out of a debate that usually ends in blanket accusations. One side is in favor of restricting immigration and is attacked as cold-hearted, while a plea for “open borders” would quickly be dismissed as being unrealistic. That is why philosophers have often "avoided the question of a right to immigration".

According to Angelis, there is a universal moral right to choose one's place of life independently, which can be derived from the idea of ​​freedom of movement and its basis, individual autonomy . That should not be restricted by states either. As a parallel existing dimension of the idea of ​​autonomy, he sees the right to decide as a democratic citizen about things and thus also about the design of the immigration law. Thus, the idea of ​​autonomy also gives rise to the paradox that citizens have a right to freedom of movement and at the same time a right to restrict it.
