Migration in good if it confirms to the laws & culture of the Land. While we take action against migrant we should not forget that we too have / may be migrants some where at some point in life.Though I am not against immigrants what alarms me is uncontrolled immigration accompanies by illegal occupation of land and erosion of values , peace & culture .
I see two forms of migration 1) One when you migrate and legally take up a house and pay your taxes / dues and contribute to the development of the place you immigrate to . ( This is characteristic of the educated / skilled labor force working in the organized sector and poses no harm.) It is an asset . Emulate them .! Accommodate them as they consider you their own. 2) The second is immigration by ( normally unskilled / laborers ) by the unorganized work force . This type of work force are characterized by daily wage earners / household helps etc.They give rise to encroachment / civic problems, problems with the law and order , sanitation , health problems and a host full of others . These are responsible for gradual erosion / disintegration of the place they migrate.They are the ones characterized by mass migration and activities not conducive and not in harmony to the local / original culture / population. Thus the eviction carried out by the Goa Government was a step in the right direction and should be supported by all not just Goans but every citizen of the country . Such migration has caused the erosion of cities like Mumbai. If not stopped , Goa would end up another Mumbai full of dirt , filth and crime Goa will very soon have it own Dharavi . Then some great politician will one day descend and give legal status to all hut and squatter colonies for the sake of their votes. . Such migrants earn in the land they migrate to , mess around with the place and send back their earning to develop the land they have migrated from . They have no respect or regard for the land they have migrated to. . =========================================================================================== Confidentiality Notice : "The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
