I have argued that, to be democratically legitimate, a state's regime of border control must result from political processes in which those subject to it? including foreigners?have a right of democratic participation. David Miller resists that conclusion by challenging my assumptions about the nature of, and relationship between, democratic legitimacy, state coercion, and autonomy. In particular, Miller rejects propositions (1.2) through (3.2) below
