Based on Donatella di Cesare's work Resident Foreigners: A philosophy of migration (2020), this article aims to address the problem of migration in the context of philosophy, understanding the philosopher's development of the subject and her critique of the structural, ethical and political-social limits of the state and philosophy itself in dealing with this ever-growing phenomenon. As Di Cesare presents, the state exercises its sovereignty through the power to determine with whom to cohabit and, in this way, belonging becomes the privilege of a few. The problem of migration therefore involves a profound reconsideration of the most fundamental paradigms of our society, such as the state, property and a certain conception of community. In the wake of these issues, Simone Weil's thought emerges as a possible interlocution in order to understand the challenges that are imposed on the possibility of hospitality as a new paradigm for ethics, since her philosophy seeks to elucidate how certain lives can emerge on the moral horizon as devoid of value and thus no obligation can be recognized towards them, and at the same time, by analyzing this mechanism, seeks ways to overcome it.
