| Message | Article 2 is too lenient, and article 3 not nearly enough so. As the regressive policies of the LFF and OI continue to gut our economy, we should be welcoming temporary visitors (and their increasingly strong foreign currency) with open arms, while limiting those who will reside permanently, take jobs, and devalue the labor market. |

| Message | With efforts already underway to shatter our national defense, this bill is truly dangerous. The idea of promoting such widespread collaboration with foreign agents and powers is preposterous... we cannot help but wonder if those who support this measure are willfully attempting to undermine our national security. |
