| Message | We prefer the illegal alien issue to remain where it is, because we believe people should be free to move as they will. We find the concept of closed residency to be immoral. |

| Message | What is your opinion on the second article? Legalizing immigrants is a reckless measure. Immigrants are often exploited or overlooked by employees as they often don't have the necessary skills, education are unable to speak our native tongue. It would make more sense to help these immigrants and put them into integration centers to educate them about how to get a job, how our society is run and what is expected of you etc. |

| Message | We have no strong stance on the second issue. We don't think immigrants need to be "legalized" since we have laws already concerning this: "Government policy concerning granting citizenship. -Citizenship is granted to all nationals." "Government policy concerning granting nationality. (national of this state without implication of having citizenship rights) -Anyone is able to claim nationality." |

| Message | We must regulate our intake of labour. If we don't many immigrants who move to this country expecting a job may find they don't have the necessary skills base to find one. It is highly irresponsible to not change this policy as it encourages unemployment. Thankyou for the laws that have come into contention with my original bill. I have made the necessary changes. |

| Message | " If we don't many immigrants who move to this country expecting a job may find they don't have the necessary skills base to find one." That's why we provide free education for all. This is not an adequate argument based on the services Ikradon provides. |

| Message | What are our economic growth figures? |
| Date | 21:03:49, November 20, 2012 CET | From | SCI Libertarian-Socialist Syndicate (LL) | To | Debating the Government Control Bill |
| Message | I don't believe those are calculated. But regardless, I support a steady-state economy, not an ever-hungering "pro-growth" one. |
