Quote of the Day: The “shame” in migration

“Our aspiration is to create a homeland where nobody has to flee and those that left can return. Immigration has become a national shame.”

--Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa expressed sympathy for Ecuadorians living abroad during a visit to Napoli.

Correa met with approximately two hundred compatriots in the Italian city where he also blamed past “failed policies” as the reason why Ecuadorians are “obligated” to migrate abroad.
