“Developed countries will always welcome the Einsteins of this world - those individuals whose talents are already recognized and deemed to have value. This welcome doesn't usually extend to the poor and uneducated people seeking to enter the country.

Those who preach most frequently about states' rights today are not those seeking the protection of the individual citizen, but his exploitation. The time is long past — if indeed it ever existed — when we should permit the noble concept of states' rights to be betrayed.” IfsShouldHumansLongStatesTodayPastIndividualRightsCitizensConceptsHuman RightsSeekingProtectionNobleCivil RightsDenialPermitExploitationBetrayedSlogansForefathersStates Rights Author:Robert Kennedy
