| Message | Article 2 is a really bad idea! You want to let refugees in, but don't give them financial aid? Most of the time, these people have no money. This will result in a big increase of crime! |

| Message | Much better than the current situation but not enough. Too bad no one else would agree |

| Message | We - Spes Patriae - believe these articles are fine as they are, and so does the Imperial Senate as the current articles were passed not too long ago. |
