| Date | 12:29:33, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Immigrants are immigrants. Regardless of how they come into the country, they clearly want to be here, and they will help contribute to our nation. |
| Date | 12:30:49, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | If they want to be here then they can come here legally. Our immigration policy is not restrictive as we all know. |
| Date | 12:37:08, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Indeed, so why bother with harsh restrictions on this side of the fence? |
| Date | 12:41:04, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Why tolerate those who choose to violate soveriegn bounderies? |
| Date | 12:51:15, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | We should be encouraging an open borders policy, not trying to remove people. |
| Date | 13:04:50, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Like that is a smart move *rolleyes* |
| Date | 13:05:26, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Open borders is not a smart move? How so? |
| Date | 13:19:48, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | For starters, security. It will put a nation at risk. Criminals will go anywhere since they realize that they will not need passports to get across boundries. Those are two good reasons why it is not a smart move. |
| Date | 13:23:57, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | We don't have passports between the territories, is that not also a security risk? |
| Date | 17:20:34, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | No because we already know who is inside the nation because of the ID Cards that all of our citizens have. |
| Date | 23:18:22, July 29, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Apparently knowing someone's name is enough to decide if they're going to commit a crime. |
| Date | 13:34:15, July 31, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Who said anything about commiting crime? People who enter illegally already broke the law. You apparently do not understand this. |
| Date | 14:39:19, July 31, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | That was in response to: "no because we already know who is inside the nation because of the ID Cards that all of our citizens have." |
| Date | 23:15:14, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | Finally. The Lawbreakers can be expelled from the country when found. |
| Date | 23:21:27, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | This won't stand for long, don't worry. |
| Date | 23:39:44, August 05, 2008 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Illegal Immigration Reform Act |
| Message | You forget that we now know who supports and who does not. As such, if this is overturned, it can be redone when the majority is gained. |
