It is funny but down here anyways it appears not to be the immigrants who cause the problems its the 2nd and 3rd generations that cause the hassles… the cronulla riots a few years back was all 2nd and third generations…. not a very nice time or pretty site that was, but even in France they where saying the riots there were the children of immigrants not the immigrants themselves… perhaps it is trouble reconcilling their ethnic backgrounds with the country they are raised in…. dont know….

I am pleased to say that India has been welcoming of immigrants from all countries. We have immigration from Africa, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Iran, Israel, East Europe, etc. This has been going on for thousands of years and continues till today and the people very quickly become a part of mainstream India. I think now India should go a step further and allow sale of property to foreigners truly making it into an immigration friendly nation.

Its generally the country they go to that is at fault by trying to be too politically correct

”In 1985, he and his brother Ali Al-Fayed bought House of Fraser, a group that included the famous London store Harrods, for £615m. The Harrods deal was made under the nose of Roland ‘Tiny’ Rowland, the head of Lonrho. Rowland had been seeking to buy Harrods and took the Fayed brothers to a Department of Trade inquiry. The inquiry, involving one of the most bitter feuds in British business history, issued a 1990 report stating that the Fayed brothers had lied about their background and wealth. The bickering with Rowland continued when he accused them of stealing millions in jewels from his Harrods safe deposit box. Rowland died in 1998, and, without accepting responsibility, Al Fayed settled the dispute with a payment to his widow. (Al Fayed had been arrested during the dispute and sued the Metropolitan Police for false arrest in 2002. He lost the case.)

I for one would disagree that immigration has only positives. Immigrants certainly bring their fair share of trouble to a country when they come with a non-collaborative mindset and categorically refuse to live by the law of the land. The points raised by Jem in their post are causes for concern in my opinion. It is nonsense that immigrants end up better off in a country than its born citizens! Something has gone wrong with the process if this is what we end up with.

This does not mean that I am against immigration (regulars know my stand on the global village concept as Gareth describes it), what I am saying is that immigration has to be well planned and managed by the welcoming country for it to be success.

David, I heard it was the port of Sharjah. But in any case, the story indeed starts in UAE.

But, on a serious note, earlier on today I had unchecked the commentluv feature, but it still gave the link. Now, it seems to have become reasonable. Let’s see..

Thus once can only conclude that Immigration or cross border movement of people is part of a healthy world. Infact leading organizations, such as Unilever, GE, Microsoft, Samsung, Hong Kong Bank, etc owe their leadership to being able to harness the best talent in the world and it has been constantly observed that companies that fail to build multi-cultural workforces do not do as well as the highly local ones. In India I have always maintained that the biggest hurdle in the ambitions of our companies lies in their teams being too Indian, and some of these companies are now trying to overcome that.

It’s also important to realise that an immigrant is a very person. S/he has made a huge effort to move, showing a special will and determination. Places that receive him/her will greatly benefit.

The other thing we do need to be aware of is how to help the countries undergoing mass emigration to retain their people and the causes of this. It’s not good for countries to suffer mass economic emigration as it tends to be the sought after and valuable skills that go first, such as the doctor crises in Malawi. Allowing people to earn a decent living and enjoy a good standard of living in their country of origin is certainly the other thing we should focus on as well as protecting the resources of the planet.
