Bill: The Immigration and Border Security Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Family and Tradition Party (disbanded)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2590
Description[?]:
| The FTP believes that we should repeal the extremely damaging, open border policies enacted in the recent past. This is important for the security and protection of the people of Trigunia, to ensure that Trigunia is not overwhelmed with mass-immigration beyond her holding capacity, and to prevent multi-culturalism. The FTP does not believe in amnesty for refugees, either - it is unfair to expect tax-payers to fund the welfare of people who came to this country arbitrarily - we do not feel that the people of Trigunia have any obligation to people from other countries who are victims of their own domestic situations. Trigunians should not be expected to solve the problems of other countries. |

| Message | We find the Socialie Anarhisti's comments quite insulting, and suggest to the chair that they be held in contempt of parliament. The SA has a right to express discontent over immigration, and we certainly do not claim 'racism' or anything stupid like that. But we find these comments unbecoming of professionals, and we ask the SA that they remain focussed on the issues at hand, rather than quarrelling with the 'Hutorian elite' that they seem to detest so much. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
