Message	This bill doesn't stop that.

From	Gaduri Resistencia
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	Yes it does, it limits the number that can come, and removes the integration aid that would otherwise make them able to quickly become effective workers.

From	People's Liberation Front
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	Its better at the moment

Date	16:52:18, June 21, 2007 CET
From	Capitalists for Prosperity
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	The number was limited before. This merely changes how the limits are enforced. As for the refugees, self-suficiency is a big reason why immigration is good. If integration aid is needed, then the immigrants aren't being self-sufficient.

From	Gaduri Resistencia
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	No, the reason immigration is good is because it bolsters the economy. We believe that in the long term it is beneficial to ensure all immigrants and refugees integrate well into society in order to maximise the benefit they offer Gaduridos. Otherwise we run the risk of prejudice and sectarianism. Therefore, we oppose both options on the first, but see the bottom proposal as a step backwards.

From	(GCCP) H.P. Sauce Committee
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	I don't agree with the current state of article 2 because we will get everyone coming here and leeching off us just like what is happening in the UK

Date	17:22:48, June 21, 2007 CET
From	Gaduri Resistencia
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	No it isn't. Incidentally if you actually knew about the laws here, you'd realise you have to live here for a considerable period of time before you receive benefits. The only people who do leech off us here in Britain are the ones the government doesn't let work, which could be simply solved by allowing them to do so.

Message	maybe so but look how immigrants we have due to them being "refugees"

Date	19:08:12, June 21, 2007 CET
From	Gaduri Resistencia
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	Yep. And what's wrong with having immigrants? Boosts our economy.

Date	20:06:48, June 21, 2007 CET
From	(GCCP) H.P. Sauce Committee
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	yeah when they finally start working but in the 6 or so months when they 1st come over it costs us far too much because they leech off a country that provides everything which is why they don't go to other places

Date	20:10:26, June 21, 2007 CET
From	Gaduri Resistencia
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	No, Britain provides nothing for immigrants until after a certain period of time. The "leechers" you describe are a tabloid fiction.

Date	21:12:53, June 21, 2007 CET
From	People's Liberation Front
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	but unfortunatly people do flock her thinking that they will. So then they end up unemployed if they are unskilled

Date	21:22:19, June 21, 2007 CET

To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	Then we, the communists with the 80% majority, create jobs for them. One of the many benefits of a command economy.

From	Capitalists for Prosperity
To	Debating the Immigration Reform
Message	You commies and your crazy economic myths.

Date	22:16:09, June 21, 2007 CET

Message	Nah, it's one of the major advantages of any command economy.
