| Message | We can certainly agree to this legislation, though we would like to see the provisions of Article 1 furthered to allow an active search for illegal immigrants. We believe that illegal aliens will remain a problem unless dealt with directly - if the government does not actively search for them, they may never be discovered. We support Article 2 in full. Therefore, we will vote in favour of this legislation, but we would like to see Article 1 taken further in future. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
