Message | Oh, here's a policy we do not agree with - we find it would cost us more to expel them and they would most definitely be settled in our country as welcome residents already, we would much rather help them intergrate. |
Date | 15:05:21, July 03, 2008 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the New Immigration Policy Act |
Message | We agree with the LCP. We are opposed to any attacks on immigrants, regardless of their origin. Once they are in Rutania it would be destructive to their quality of life to simply expel them. We are talking about human beings, not cattle, and it is about time that all humans were treated equally regardless of where they come from. The Labour Party has no problem with immigration - legal or otherwise - and only seeks to support all who are in Rutania. |

Message | Also, what are integration centres? They sound quite sinister. People living in our society are likely to be integrated etc, without having to be sent to some sort of 'centre'. |

Message | The LCP likes to think that intergration centres help immgrants learn English, teach them basic rights and responsibilities and plainly help with settling properly in Rutania. |
