Machiavelli warned about exiles in The Prince. Paraphrased: “One must be cautious of those who come from other lands, especially if they have left their own country. Their judgment is shaped elsewhere; their loyalty is not to your state, but to their own interest. They may admire your institutions or despise them, but either way, they can do harm if trusted blindly.”
