I will work and leave the region.. Here in the Gulf whatever happens the local political power,rights.land is protected. No Guarantee migrants will do the same in Goa. Will the USA should open doors to everyone who wants to support their families? Supporting Families is not the issue but it should not affect the right to decent living of the people in the host regions. Mario responds: You are a foreigner in the UAE on a work permit. The migrants in Goa are Indians. The last time I checked, Goa was a part of India. In the US anyone can move to any other state for a job at any time without losing any of their rights. The US opens its doors to hundreds of thousands of foreign workers every year, many legally, many more illegally. Every Goan has the right to accept the same jobs as the migrants. Business owners in Goa complain that they cannot find qualified Goans for the jobs that are available.

Arwin wrote: Yes agree that's why we need to spread awareness of the ill-effects of the same. Mario responds: You are free to do so and see if anyone cares. If you can get Goans to elect honest politicians you will have benefitted Goa. Arwin wrote: Mega Projects for example are necessary for the builders personal pockets/bank accounts but un-necessary for Goa as it not only destroys the environment/ecolody, contaminates land/water. Traffic jams but also increasingly reduces the local population into a minority; also attracts loads of migrants who then create slums, group into vote-banks etc Mario responds: This is your opinion. What is actually happening shows that those involved don't agree with your opinion. Arwin wrote: Migrations are taking place yes but today (1) Internationally countries are putting in policies to retaian identities e.g. USA, Australia, France etc. Mario responds: You still don't seem to understand the difference between countries and states.

If "a Rajan Parrikar" really supported Obama in the last US presidential election, perhaps he needs to catch up with what the others who did the same are beginning to realize:-)) http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/741cc2f0-748f-11de-8ad5-00144feabdc0.html
