Abstract Immigration policies are a complex balancing act between national interests (security, economy, culture) and ethical considerations (protecting vulnerable populations, upholding human rights). This research explores this dynamic from the perspective of immigrants in their new homelands. By examining their experiences and challenges, the study provides insights into these competing priorities and proposes solutions for more equitable immigration systems. Through case studies of Canada and the United Kingdom, the research investigates how immigrants, regardless of legal status, perceive the balance between a host country's rights, security concerns, economic interests, and its duty to protect vulnerable groups like refugees and economic migrants. The study reveals the direct impact of current policies on immigrants' lives, sense of belonging, and trust in government. It underscores the critical need for inclusive policymaking that incorporates immigrants' voices, fostering ethically sound systems that effectively balance national interests with humanitarian responsibilities.
