| Message | Current: No foreigners are permitted to reside permanently in this nation. Alternatives: o There are quotas based on nationality to determine how many foreigners may reside permanently in this nation. o Quotas are based on individual applicant's qualifications. o Everyone is allowed to reside permanently in this nation. This is separate to the one we usually debate. -------------------------------------------------------------------- We would be in favour of "Everyone is allowed to reside permanently in this nation", as it does not conflict with current legislation, but as this is most likely unacceptable to parties, we will settle for the proposed. |

| Date | 08:16:00, July 22, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Immigration Act |
| Message | We would prefer that 'everyone is allowed', and if the votes for that are available would suggest it be changed. If they are not, then the proposal is tolerable, and a dramatic improvement from current laws. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
