There is, however, yet another dimension to it all: That even
'illegal aliens' are human beings. Can civilized folks deny another's
humanity, regardless of her passport, skin color, personal choice or
lack of a god/God, language, or what have you?
Manuhe manuhor babe, jodihe okonw nebhabe', bghabibo kwnenw nw kwa'!
Or maybe when we hummed those lyrics we did that without ever
believing in it?

" 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.
