| Message | This is an attempt to make Jelbania into a nation that is not accepting and unfreindly to other nations, we strongly oppose. |
| Date | 21:40:12, November 21, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Jelbanian Party-D.L.J.-D.L.F | To | Debating the Citizenship Bill |

| Message | We support this. This would not prevent immigrants from becoming citizens, it only prevents them from being given the designation "national." We believe it is appropriate to gain citizenship through passing a test, but not appropriate to gain nationality this way. We welcome all immigrants and encourage them on their path toward Jelbanian citizenship. |

| Message | We are surprised most parties are opposed to this. Is our interpretation of this wrong? Doesn't this not affect a immigrant's path to citizenship? |
