Description[?]:
| With our recent foreign policy troubles, especially over our colonies, now is the time to take a stronger stance on security at our borders. Merely checking that those visiting our nation are who they say they are is not enough, we need to be able to check their background to see if they may be a threat to our nation trying to slip in under the radar. Our national security can never be taken for granted. |

| Message | Plato's Republicans feel that any possible security benefits of such a policy are overshadowed by the loss of tourism and the economic blow such an isolationist policy will create. Serious threats to national security will not be stopped at the border. |
