Dear Uttam & Sushanta, Lets analyze this a bit.
It is a geographical truth that people from less developed areas will migrate to more developed areas (Refer C.E.M. Joad). It is also a fact of life that countries will have borders. In today's world, borders are meant to keep selected people out, and NOT meant to keep the locals in (like erstwhile East Germany/Soviet bloc). This idea of no world border is something that has taken some currency in the last few years. There are two sides to this: No borders for people/groups wanting to help others (like in a flood or earthquake) - where doctors without borders, medical/emergency/food aid should be able to go in without any obstacles. Foreign aid has been difficult to get into countries like Ethiopia and even in Pakistan. The other part is people wanting to immigrate into another country for bettering their lives. Countries will normally accept people who are needed, or on political, humanitarian grounds. Countries also assess how both legal and illegal immigration affects their own economy, resources etc. Today, a new dimension is added. There are those who will immigrate (legally and illegally ) to other countries, just to do them harm. Those who advocate for 'no world border' might want to go a step further. Why have individual homes or property? Why not socialize everything and make it all for everyone? How about languages & culture? Why do we need to worry about such frivolities? The thing called 'Me', 'Mine', 'Myself' has a meaning to individualism. Normally, the world order today dictates that countries have borders, and countries will often go the extra step to help a fellow country when needed. Otherwise, countries will wind up like the proverbial Arab, who out of kindness, let his camel to keep is nose in the tent. Soon, of course, the camel was inside, and the Arab outside.:-) The question here is of the limits to immigration (both legal and illegal), and the tolerance limits of countries. The US, btw, is more welcoming, and has more liberal policy than India and many other countries. On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Sushanta Kar <pragyan.ts...@gmail.com>wrote: > A good Post Uttamda!
