| Message | It isnt the governments to control the labour market, it controls itselfs, lets not waste peoples time. What have you got against refugees? We should welcome those persecuted by their own governments. In any case we shouldn't be giving them money, since it involves taking money of our citizens to give to them, which will breed resentment and harm integration. Theres no real need for such intensive border controls. If we know there identities we can turn away those convicted criminals who may harm our nation. |

| Message | If you have an unregistered flow of immigrants based upon no qualifications then unemployment will skyrocket, and the market cannot completely control itself the government has to help and regulate in areas, that is ridiculous. I'm sorry I made a mistake earlier on that propsal, this is the proposal that I wanted to include. Most of the time they are not convicted criminals, and most of the time its not convicted criminals, sometimes its unconvicted criminals, dangerously unstable persons, and then you have the drug dealers, and criminals that have escaped to our country and require our police forces to spend our tax money on trying to capture and extradite him, you need to think a little outside the box sir. |

| Message | The market can control itself. If unemployment starts to rise, then the number of immigrants entering the country decreases, because there is more competition for jobs. My point still stands- integration aid creates resentment which harms integration. If they are unconvicted, more stringent security will very rarely work, since there is nothing on their records indicating that they are criminals. |
