Marlon. Ref ur post below; Please Give me an example of such FREE Societies which openly embraces un-controlled migrant influx!! Goa in ruins not only because of political reasons you have mentioned but also because of many Goans who have left Goa for permanent migration; and besides giving all types of excuses to save thier immigrant status in their adopted countries, have not done anything for their homeland!! For your information leaving me & you out (to save the argument), there are still Goans in Goa who could have left but did not; and are fighting to save Goa & its Identity. And then there are many NRI's who have opted not to migrate but use thier resources to give back to Goa.
Excuses, excuses! If you have "flown out of the coop", you have done it because you value your economic interests more than preserving Goa's culture. And guess, what? There is nothing wrong with that. Most of us who live outside Goa, do so for economic reasons, because we have a stronger craving for physical wealth than for preserving some hard to measure aspect of preserving Goa or its culture. Trying to influence the future of Goa and attempting to victimize the migrants from afar is less likely to succeed than controlling the Mars rovers from Earth. Bottom line is that migrants, foreigners etc have come to Goa because it makes economic sense for them and for the economy as a whole. This is how free markets and free societies are supposed to work. The real issue in Goa is not the migrants, but bad governence - mostly Goans, elected by mostly Goans.
