Bill: Refugee Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Radical Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2677
Description[?]:
| Limiting the number of refugees allowed entry. By allowing foreign nationals to enter our country and claim refugee status for any reason seems quite ludicrous to us, not to mention we give them a hand out. Our proposed bill will allow only those that are victims of war, genocide, etc be allowed to claim refugee status, and given a little help. |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change The national refugee policy.
Old value:: All refugees are welcome, regardless of their reason, and given aid in integrating them into the country.
Current: Only refugees that are victims of extreme circumstances are welcome; they are given integration-aid.
Proposed: Only refugees that are victims of extreme circumstances are welcome; they are given integration-aid.

| Message | We oppose this bill. Selucia is currently seen as one of the most humanitarian nations in the world, and there is no reason for that to change. Open borders and high levels of foreign aid are signs of a moral and good society. |
| Date | 16:21:55, December 05, 2008 CET | From | Imperial Democratic Coalition | To | Debating the Refugee Reform |
| Message | Well, we frankly oppose nearly-all immigration, so we support wholeheartedly |
| Date | 20:04:37, December 05, 2008 CET | From | Selucian Home and Hearth | To | Debating the Refugee Reform |

| Date | 08:41:43, December 06, 2008 CET | From | Minarchist Party | To | Debating the Refugee Reform |
| Message | There is quite divisive opinions regarding immigration in our party so our votes are likely to be quite scattered on this issue, if we even vote at all. Such is the joy of an individualist, liberty-oriented party. |
