| Message | Let them work to boost our economy; this can be done by increasing citizenship, not by severely restricting it. This is xenophobic. |

| Message | But immigrants with qualifications like doctors and tech people, people who don't resort to crime assismilitate into new countries faster those our the people who help the economy not the people who are poor and just live off welfare. |

| Message | How are they making it into the country if they are poor and on welfare? Walking? Seems unlikely. If one has the means to make it to the country, it seems likely that they'd be able to contribute. If not, then perhaps the welfare issue needs to be address, rather than restricting citizenship. |

| Message | That doesn't answer our question. Obviously it is illegal, but we challenge you to provide a method for the poor to illegally immigrate. If they are poor they can't afford buses or planes. |
