| Message | I have better things to do than rejecting your false accusations all the time. The bill clearly says the foreign office can approve, so it does depend on who's in charge; we won't accept any terrorist nations on our soil. An invasive security check is needed in order to keep security a priority. Trade with foreign nations can hardly be isolationist. We don't have a moral responsibility of taking in all kinds of refugees, but the law opens for extreme circumstances and we believe that's sound policy to be able to integrate everyone and have a proper society together. Matt Fitzgerald Chairman PPJ. |
