| Message | Mr. Speaker, against what threat are we protecting with these policies? No refugees overrun our shores, no neighbors threaten sabotage, no international terrorists demand the destruction of the people. This bill would only serve to strengthen the restrictive powers of the police against our own fellow subjects! |
