| Message | The application process is for ever immigrant that comes in, if they pass they are granted citizenship. The Application process is designed to better serve the people of this nation to ensure that we are not taking in criminals into our nation. By allowing ANY immigrant into our borders we are opening the door to smugglers, drug dealers, slave traders, and a bunch more criminal activities because we are checking to make sure those coming in do not have prior records. Now we respect the fact that if the crime was over 10 years ago that you could have changed your ways and you could be a respectable person now, everyone makes mistakes but if its been recent then I would say NO. The Application process also allows us to take note as to how our newly inducted immigrants will effect our job growth, our education system and our economy. If we notice an influx of immigrants that are good workers and are willing to contribute to society and its economic success then we know we are doing a good thing letting these workers into our nation, if they however prove to be more of a stay at home live off others kind we can turn them down until they realize that here you the more you work the better things are. We do have a welfare system in parts but its designed to HELP and ASSIST not to let people LIVE off it. Kristopher Miller, Candidate for Chancellor |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
