| Message | Mr Speaker, "regardless of their reason"? How can we be sure these characters are even genuine refugees and not benefit tourists? I yield the floor, but not our borders. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Somehow I doubt that this policy includes these "benefit tourists" of yours. I yield the floor, but not the Holy Luthori Empire's humanity. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, "Refugee" is defined in the dictionary as "a person who flees for refuge or safety, esp. to a foreign country, as in time of political upheaval, war, etc." (see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/refugee). These are the people this legislation is designed to help, not so-called "benefit tourists". I yield the floor. Belinda Braithwaite (Viceroy & Leader of the LCWA) |
