| Message | Mr Speaker, I'm afraid I cannot vote in favor of this bill. We could accept it if refugees were given integration aid, otherwise immigration would increase crime levels substantially. I am not sure about how necessary Article 2 is, but I could support it if Article 1 would be edited. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We acknowledge the comments of the LCP and support them. We encourage the LCP to propose a modification to this bill, the CIL will not oppose it. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I must admit that I am more in favor of the current immigration policy. Immigration is essential for the survival of the Holy Luthori Empire. I can however support the modified bill if more parties can accept those terms (OOC: so that I don't screw up my visibility and lose at the same time). I yield. |
