" bilateralism" and "moral right of illegal aliens"--these are wonderful words,no doubt.Yet,mention " illegal aliens" in any context and the normally sedate chief minister of Assam turns absolutely apoplectic,spouting " there is not a single 'bidexi' in Assam"!!!.When the head of the state himself has been cloaking under the deniability in regards to the presence of illegal foreigners,wouldn't be churlish to talk with Bangladesh about high-sounding universalism?
Every country sets its own yardstick of " desirable" and " undesirable" aliens and adopts innovative schemes to check illegal immigration.The bottomline is--deciding which non-citizen is allowed into a country and for how long is a sovereign right.
