| Message | I do not agree with article 3 could you explain why we need this? |
| Date | 01:58:39, July 31, 2010 CET | From | The CFoG | To | Debating the The Military & Border Control Changes |
| Message | Articles 1 & 4 are suggestions that I believe would increase the relationship of the people with their government. I feel that they are reasonable changes to make that would not put us as a region in any danger or threat. Articles 3 & 5 are both proposals that I believe would help the economy of the nation and help maintain a stable population. I also feel this puts a clear distinction between refugees and immigrants that is required in any region. Article 2 has been discussed in the past and may be removed before this bill goes to vote depending on the outcome of previously raised bills. Any questions or remarks are welcome. This bill will be put to vote after August 2977 |

| Message | Any increase in population can affect an economy and can put pressures on those lending money and those earning money... It can be a root cause of unemployment or with the introduction of new money (brought with those entering the region) inflation can occur. Hope this answers any questions. |
