| Message | "RDF does not prefer giving any aid to refugees: they already have every right to be here and not to be expelled (therefore we think that article 1 is unnecessary); they have equal opportunities as all other citizens of Rutania. They can and they should find some job and start earning for living. Therefore, RDF will not support this proposal." Louis Jensen, MNC RDF spokesman for internal affairs |

| Message | The aid given to refugees is to help them integrate into the community because they were forced into immigration sometimes on short notice. |

| Message | OK, they were forced into immigration; but what kind of integration aid do they need then? psychological? language learning? money package? Whatever integration aid may be, it costs money. So, someone must to pay it, and how can we pay it with such low income and corporation taxes and virtually non-existent sales taxes? On the other hand, those people must earn for themselves, so, whatever integration aid may be, it should not be a substitute for work and salary. |

| Message | We prefer intergration centres - teaching them the laws, language of Rutanians, and most definitely job assistance. |
| Date | 19:18:00, August 19, 2008 CET | From | Humanist Alliance | To | Debating the Alien Control Bill |
| Message | The aid would be for cultural integration and no substitute for work. |
| Date | 20:35:58, August 19, 2008 CET | From | Socialist League for a new society | To | Debating the Alien Control Bill |
| Message | The Libertarian Socialist League of Rutania would be in favour of an integration-aid for refugers victim of extreme circustances. But is against proposals which, if pass, will cause growing difficults for migrant people and a stop to refugeers-status for subjects for whom government will denie the existence of "extreme circustances". For these reasons, the Socialist League votes "no" |
