| Message | Why? How do you determine extreme circumstances? This will lead to abuse. We have UN sanctions agains such and such nation, their refugees are not welcome. We have an alliance with such and such nation. Their refugees have no reason to flee. |

| Message | Extreme I would say would be the same as most nations are now. If they have reason to fear for their lives or freedom, then they can come in, as opposed to saying, because I want to be a refugee. |
