Bill: Foreign Policy Reform for Improved Function
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Syndicalist Coalition
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2438
Description[?]:
Article I "Equality and fairness go hand in hand." -Anonymous When a neighboring or rival nation imposes tariffs on our exports, why would we not do the same in kind? The current law merely allows for other states to gain a great of money from our inability to match their taxes on imports. As it stands, the current inequality will only discourage our own industries from exporting goods when they have to pay an increased price to import raw materials. Article II This equality does not apply, however, to our open allowance of immigrants into our nation. People, while sharing equal unalienable rights, are in life unequal by the result of their education, occupation, and wealth. Why should we allow immigrants with nothing to offer our nation, and possibly have criminal histories, into our country with such ease? Instead, we should allow only those that we can trust to live a good and a productive life into our nation. |

Message | "We may be able to support this." -George Howard Foreign Affairs Minister |
Date | 01:41:48, August 03, 2007 CET | From | National Syndicalist Coalition | To | Debating the Foreign Policy Reform for Improved Function |
Message | Qualifications would merely include a check into the background of incoming individuals who wish to permanently reside in our nation. Should they have a criminal record, or somehow be perceived as a future burden to the state, the government reserves the right to prevent them from remaining here indefinitely. In light of the show of support from the National Coalition and the Liberal Democratic Party, we move to bring this bill to a vote. |
