Abstract :This study seeks a political and philosophical basis for the definition of migration. The main purpose of this paper is to explore political and philosophical solutions to this issue. The method of research focuses on analyzing existing political and philosophical discourse on the issue of migrant membership. This study analyzes the theories on the hospitality of membership and diagnoses their limitations. This research also pay attention to the political theory of Benhabib who suggests the most convincing alternative on migration and membership. This study emphasizes Benhabib’s concept of democratic iteration and diagnoses its potential and limitations. Benhabib’s theory is recognized for its significance in that it accepts innate contradictions in the issue of migrant membership and seeks realistic alternatives. However, it should be complemented further by accepting the norms of global citizenship or such afterwards.
