| Message | Herr Präsident, Today, we bring to the House a bill already announced by my right honourable colleague, Herr Goddestreu, when he offered a bill to change the refugee law. We have long intended to do something about the policy of according residence permits to each and every person applying for one, because we believe limits might be the more constructive way of managing integration. Hosian Democrats are not for retreating into our mountain refuge and barring out foreigners, let that be abundantly clear. But the policy as it stands now risks putting pressure on the labour market and on our capacity to welcome newcomers into our diverse and multicultural family. They enrich our country culturally and economically, contribute social capital as well as economical labour and capital. That is why today, we propose that merit and contribution to society be used to evaluate the granting of residence permits. These are permanent, mind you, Herr Präsident. The people who get those permits will be staying with us for a long time. We owe it to them, and to ourselves, to make sure we can welcome them with open arms and offer them a country where they are not defined by where they come from but where they're going and what they contribute. die sehr ehrenwerte Frau Anne Nishimura MdR (HDV - Labsburg Sankt Martinus) Vize-Staatsministerin and Innenministerin Parteiobfrau des Hosianisch-Demokratisches Verbund |

| Message | Herr Präsident, "pressure on the labour market" is created more by our rigid minimum wage standards than by immigration. An increased labour pool will make it easier for companies to hire people and thus ease the negative effects of overly restrictive governmental wage decrees.

| Message | Herr Präsident, Frau Stadtmann makes a valid point. I believe she will find my honourable colleague, Herr Marlberg, a valuable ally in her aim to change the minimum wage law (OOC: I will be proposing that, thanks for bringing it up). I regret, however, that she does not explain why she feels it is necessary to oppose the measure proposed here. die sehr ehrenwerte Frau Anne Nishimura MdR (HDV - Labsburg Sankt Martinus) Vize-Staatsministerin and Innenministerin Parteiobfrau des Hosianisch-Demokratisches Verbund |
