| Message | We do not see it as oppressive, we see it as the best way to help people. It is convenient that the cheap thing is also the right thing. |

| Message | How is tearing people out of their homes and placing them into centers — camps, really — helping them? |

| Message | We see this as very different, people who are illegal immigrants cannot work legally, can receive no state benefit, have no political representation. They are at risk from the worst elements in our society, people who enter countries illegally often do it through organised crime, who will later abuse them. Because of their status as illegal immigrants they feel they have no one to turn to. We are not forcing people to leave the country, we are not brutalising them. |

| Message | If they want to enter the integration centers themselves, they can do so. This bill would not take away the integration centers. On the other hand, if they do not want to, it is brutal to tear them from their homes and force them to. |
