| Message | Where exactly do we discriminate foreigners? They pay taxes, recieve social insurance (child benefits, health care, old-age pensions), education etc. |

| Message | Immigrants must pass a test to gain nationality, while anyone else receives it automatically, as if being born here is some sort of merit. This is discrimination and pointless separation. |

| Message | Well, but what's the advantage of having our nationality? People who don't have the Ikrodanian nationality haven't less rights. BF considers our nationality as a mark of honour. You've got to show that you deserve it. That can be done by an easy test on which every one can succeed if he/she informs his/herself a bit about our country. I'm even prepared to make the test easier for disabled persons, in order to give them a real chance to pass. In short: everyone in this country must have full rights. Nationality is something symbolic, you have to be proud of it. |

| Message | So why do those born here automatically deserve honor? |
