| Message | We will never compromise on the issue of protecting the ethnic existence and honor of the Dundorfian volk to it's full extent. To welcome refugees and not give them economical aid is hypocrisy and unsolidarity in it's ugliest manifestations. Opposed. And as usual the traitors of the pro-multiculturalist horde show their resentment of ethnic Dundorfians by voting no on any issue that would - to some or small extent - protect the ethnic integrity of the Dundorfian volk. |

| Message | We support the article relating to passing a test for immigration. This is a step towards making people educate themselves about the BRD, and will hopefully help them understand why it is they want to move to our country. This will also hopefully make them more responsible citizens once they move here because they will know the most basic of laws and customs. By passing the test, they will show they have an understanding of the country and will make it easier for them to integrate into society. The article relating to integration aid is a little trickier for us, but we are inclined to support right now. Hopefully employers will be willing to hire immigrants who have moved because of very bad situations in their homelands. If new residents are able to find work almost immediately after moving to the BRD, then there should be little reason to give them integration assistance. But, if private business owners think that "only Dundorfers can work here," then cutting off aid will just leave the people who come here poor and turning to a life of crime or a life working in the black market. We believe that people who are new to the country will be able to find work because of the positive economic environment which exists right now though, and will vote in favor of the bill at this time. |
