| Message | Absurd. Why would we allow serial rapists and murderers into our nation? Do we presume they are 'rehabilitated' just by the action of applying for residency here? No on both. |

| Message | If they are serial rapist and murderers then we will extradite them back for their trial, or they already served their sentence and thus we should not hold it against them. |
