| Message | Herr Speaker, By doing this, we condemn our nation to an onslaught of refugees who would corrupt our society and our culture. Not to mention, the risk of permitting terrorist and seditious elements into our nation would be immense. |

| Message | We believe this will strengthen our nation. New workers and intellectuals arriving in our nation is a blessing. Of course we need our security services to implement risk management procedures but that doesn't mean that we should close our borders and do no not develop and enrich our society.
