| Mr Speaker, immigration is a valuable asset to our economy, but not in its current free-for-all form which obliges Dranish taxpayers to subsidize the expenses of anyone who comes here regardless if that person is actually willing to contribute to our well-being in exchange. We need to impose common-sense regulation on immigration for the benefit of the Dranish economy and our taxpayers. Masuhiro Ozawa MP Member for Elbian Minister of Internal Affairs |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, the capitalists demand we accept free movement of private capital across international borders...so why don't they accept free movement of labour too? This is a very ungenerous and chauvinist proposal. Leticia Saldanas MP General Secretary of the Dranish Communist League |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we do not oppose free labour, but labour isn't exactly what the current policy of free-for-all benefits promotes. If we welcome immigrants while encouraging them to work instead of giving them money immediately, we will be much better off overall. Masuhiro Ozawa MP Member for Elbian Minister of Internal Affairs |
