Message | We agree with Article 2, but not Article 1. |
Date | 18:29:03, November 25, 2007 CET | From | National Authoritarian Movement | To | Debating the Refugees and Foreign Aid |
Message | We support Article 1, but not 2. Proposal 1 offers the possibility to give effective aid by getting an equal value in return, which will support our economy in the global competition. Article 2 will lead to a mass of poor people which try to come to our country to get financial support. We can't support this |

Message | But its "extreme circumstances" and cases will need to be approved. Its not like we put a sign saying come here. |

Message | "Article 1: The current system allows for both the Zardugali and the producer's economy to grow. We see no need to change our practise. International charity has proved effective in providing disaster relief. Article 2: The LP is pro-immigration. Within reason, it's fantastic for the economy. But it does make it harder for tax paying Zardugalies to get the specific job they wanted as the labor pool increases. To let poor immigrants to steal jobs, land and services is bad enough, but making Zardugal citizens pay to put food on their table? That's just ridiculous." ~LP Spokesman |

Message | The Revolutionary Socialist Party cannot support this, due to the "extreme circumstances" clause. The stance of the nation ought to be that all immigrants are welcome, and those that require it receive financial aid. The economy of a nation only increases as the labor pool does, and most of the jobs will be in unskilled labor, the need of which there is no shortage of. By providing them with financial aid if they require it they are better set up to take their position in the labor pool and return the favor to the economy. It is also the moral decision. But the "extreme circumstances" clause cannot be accepted. |

Message | Pardon the initial reaction, but upon further consideration the Revolutionary Socialist Party has decided that the grants of financial aid outweigh the light restrictions on entry. The RS wishes to see an improved bill in the future allowing free immigration, but we conclude this law is ultimately an improvement over the old one. |
