| Message | However, I would support nationality being the discriminator, as this allows us to admit people from poorer, more dangerous countries even if they have not recieved the same level of education as those from more advanced countries. |

| Message | Immigrants from poor, dangerous countries also need more support and help from the govt. Plus they usually do not integrate. It might be more helpful actually to push reform of their economies, rather than opening the floodgates at home |
