Globalization, Nationalism, and the Present US Immigration Troubles

The article contains analyses of the connection between the modern notion of sovereignty and problems of globalization, nationalism, and immigration. It shows (1) that such an essential con-nection exists; (2) how complicated is the issue of the relationship of sovereignty to that of politi-cal government; (3) that a rush to establish world government in our time is an impossible utopian dream. The article concludes with remarks on policies of the “progressives,” the people who seem to be pushing the US toward formation of a global government today.
