• I am compelled to speak on this issue as I daily think about the world as being available to all to wander and wonder! Human beings are migrant by nature and it is only fair to accept that artificial barriers have been placed on humanity that frustrate genuine intentions to explore and return back to base. We talk of migrant birds and I am stunned by the freedom birds have to move from hostile environments until conditions improve. Human being also have an inbuilt desire to flee hostility and frustrations in search of greener pastures. Without a doubt, because immigration laws are artificial, they are 'bursting at the seams'! Where is the global village? Is it going to remain on the internet for ever? We must admit that the existing laws and means of border patrol and control are no longer efficient, effective or economical for anyone (within and without). We need a more robust system that is meaningful and conducive to all. The longer we delay and debate, the more 'cancerous' the problem becomes. This does not have to be a monster let us sit down to talk and work through this. I am willing to offer time at looking into the issues and fostering solutions about where we are and where we want to be. I am sure there are people out there that can cast off any bias and explore opportunities for developing a more relevant and humane approach to cross border mobility starting from where we are

• What a poorly mis-managed and mis-led developing nations. Even though, they are blessed with counts resources, their own people on a daily basis are crossing countless dangers seeking greener pastures in developed nations. They are dyning by crossing dangerous seas and oceans and smuggled by crooks wishing to become rich. In reality, it is the opposite, they are rescuing their own live and running after merage of promises. In reality when they are there, they will be used against each other and abused by the crooks of the multi-national west. The west is no longer a Democracy, but corrupt and manipulative mobs are making a mockery out of Democracy and the rule of law. They have turned around Democracy into Demagogue and chaos. They have turned the west into bigotry and racism, instead of law and order. Each tribe is supporting and defending their own people,
