| Message | Border control doesn't need such maximum security, and I think that minimal yet existent border control seems ideal, however I can fully understand researching citizens in order to call them citizens when they are issued a passport. |

| Message | Economic Party, illegal immigrants have less of an impact than legal immigrants. You are proposing that we lock our borders and give each province a self-containted military. Instead of pouring money into border security (to harm would-be citizens), we should put more money into the health care and social services (to benefit all of our real citizens). If anything, we should give the people ID cards to help with security, but not invasive security checks and exploiting poor nations for our own economic benefit. |
