| Message | We support more immigration, more growth. Perhaps no aid from a federal standpoint would be acceptable, society should help with that. But refugees are refugees, and coming from a bad situation. Otherwise, they wouldn't be refugees. |

| Message | Legal immigration through merit is more worthwhile for the benefit of Sekowo than refugees. CP fully supports skilled workers immigrating for growth of our economy. Refugees most often do not have the qualities Sekowo needs. Refugees are more often a tax-burden. However, from a humanitarian point of view, those in extreme cases should be given shelter from danger. |

| Message | Integration, while it cannot be forced, is certainly possible, and would make the country of Sekowo stronger. We would support a system of self-sufficient refugee camps, which would allow the people to come into the country, while not putting a burden on Sekowans. Also, we believe that geographically, if there are refugees, their likely place of origin will mean that we could have many educated people fleeing to our borders. |
