| Message | May we enquire as to why al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof is against border checks and immigration control when they are so concerned about foreign terrorists causing destruction in this nation. Surely the answer is to control whether these terrorists are allowed in. |
| Date | 01:29:33, July 29, 2012 CET | From | al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | The terrorists are Kafuri. Considering that the terrorist threat is coming entirely from within our borders, our border control policies make no difference to Kafuristan's safety. |
| Date | 01:33:50, July 29, 2012 CET | From | Ḥizb al-Lībirālī al-Qafuri | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | Then why are foreign groups on the GRD watchlist? |
| Date | 01:38:42, July 29, 2012 CET | From | al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | Watchlist does not immediately mean terrorist, this has been explained many times by the Foreign Ministry. The foreign groups on the Watchlist show elements of possible radicalism and danger for our people. Those currently listed on the Watchlist are connected to the Royal Red Vanguard Society, which actually is recognized as a radical organization. They have attacked us and our people. They coordinate the Brotherhood, which those foreign groups are members of. And as of recently, the Baathists have joined the Brotherhood as well. |
| Date | 01:42:29, July 29, 2012 CET | From | Ḥizb al-Lībirālī al-Qafuri | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | So at the moment these people and groups can freely come and go into the nation. This government is here to protect the people of this nation. We must act to limit the people who can come here. These foreign terrorists are the ones training our own home-grown revolutionaries! And transporting the weapons that could be restricted with border checks. |
| Date | 01:44:54, July 29, 2012 CET | From | al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | Our borders are not anarchy. There are not foreign terrorists freely entering Kafuristan and training radicals. Again, the Watchlist is not terrorists. Terrorists would actually be designated as such, like the Vanguard is and like the Republican Guard was. |
| Date | 01:51:15, July 29, 2012 CET | From | Ḥizb al-Lībirālī al-Qafuri | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | How can you say who is entering? After all we ask only " minimal border controls on visitors, with cursory security checks". |
| Date | 01:56:01, July 29, 2012 CET | From | al-'Aqrab al-Aswad al-Tahalof | To | Debating the Immigration Act 3341 |
| Message | When people are entering, their identities are checked. And in a time like now, do you not think extra precautions are being taken at our borders? We've come out of war and are in a state of emergency. Our border guards are not stupid, appropriate precautions are taken. And as we debate this, another terrorist act has occurred, courtesy of domestic elements, not foreign. |
