Maybe not yours now, but it is our home. > Mario responds: > No, you don't understand the situation at all. > Since you seem to have no idea that Goa is a state within India and not a country like the USA, you keep repeating something that cannot happen, i.e. for Goa to have controls on immigration by other Indians. This would not only be illegal but unconstitutional. > BTW, it seems to me that Goa is only your home of convenience when it suits you and where you will return, God willing, if and when you choose to retire. > Believe me, I have the same option. >
