------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Arwin's Response to Mario Goviea: *Mario.. ref your response to me "Apparently unbeknownst only to you, legal and illegal migrations have been taking place throughout history" I suggest you stop your selective reading & selective copy/paste of my actual post so as to distort my views; re-look at my actual post below. In the perspective of migration; maybe you should convince the USA authorities to accept migrants into the USA the same rate as it is into Goa; perhaps they will explain to you the negatives on un-controlled migration!! "FN: Surely we can understand that migrations have taken place for centuries. Identities around the world like Goan Identity have taken years to develop. Also yes migration will continue but I hope you understand that that it should be controlled migration? Just for me to understand you properly: are you saying you have no reservations against such a high rate of Migration into Goa? If the answer to the latter is yes then, perhaps you should first convince other communities in India and the World around to allow large scale migration into their regions and decimate thier respective identities/language/culture .
