Yes, young Bernice, you have ignored political correctness...
Not "....all kind of lowly jobs" but, rather, all kind of LOWLY PAID
jobs...&, worse, jobs...not at all paid...
I am informed that at least one minister in Goa resorts to free
labour, on demand, for "services" rendered by him to his "block"
of Ghantis.

I agree with Cheryl's article.
If there have to be migrants (and due to constitutional laws we cannot debar
them), whose fault is it. In California (which I visit frequently) there is
a lot of Hispanic migrant population working as labourers, gardeners house
cleaners, maids, and all kind of lowly jobs. They have/create their own share
of problems also but they are also required. If we could find good workmen
locally, why did we have to recruit migrants to do these jobs? Sorry, our
local workers certainly have an ATTITUDE, which nobody can deny and every
problem that we face in Goa is because of this one word - let's face it. The
politicians, bureaucrats and of course migrants have taken full advantage of
our attitude to exploit us.wholeheartedly. It has come to a stage now
where due to lack of local labourers, migrants have become a necessary evil
and if we don't look sharp, we are certainly going to be overpowered by them.
As Cheryl has also mentioned "Why is there so much of concentration only on
tourism? Why not mining and IT". IT does not create pollution.and surely
there is no dearth of bright young Goan entrepreneurs who would like to take
up this challenge.
