Agreed.
The only valid "right of return" is the "right" of every single person in the entire world to return to Kenya. That is, after all, where the human race was born. Everywhere else is merely somewhere our ancestors passed through at some time in their travels.
[Edit. Actually, I believe the corollary of that--given that nobody (other than the Kenyans still living in Kenya, who might legitimately say "well, you lot fucked off and abandoned your rights") has any remotely legitimate exclusive claim to any particular piece of the Earth, nobody should be allowed to prevent anybody from moving or living anywhere.]
