| Message | Once they become citizens they will be able to take language courses paid for by the state. We feel that many immigrants already reside in Hobrazia but cannot be granted citizenship due to the qualifying test. This intregates them into socity as citizens rather then immigrants. |

| Message | But doesn't the proposal description state that being a national does not necessary make you a citizen? And military service a benefit? |

| Message | Becoming a nationality of a nation makes you a citizen. Without implication means those immigrants who arec urrently living here are nationals but lack citizenship. They are living here legally but they are not citizens pf Hobrazia, they are nationals. And yes, despite this absurd notion that we can fight with a 20 man army, we need a source of recruits. And the military can provide the new citizens with tuiton money, signing bonuses, job training, home loans, etc... Also they can earn the respect of their nation which may be hostile to immigration. |

| Message | Somehow I think our army may be a few more than 20-strong, but that's for another debate. |
