| Message | No to both - the first because we need the ability to keep out those who would become a drain on the system; the second because we can use the tourist dollars. |
| Date | 22:38:48, April 27, 2014 CET | From | Likatonian Bitter Cynics | To | Debating the Immigration Reforms |
| Message | We agree with the Libertarians here. The proposed rules would allow those with no marketable skills to come here and leech off the system, while preventing honest travellers from coming in because of stupid things like being caught with a bottle of water on board an incoming plane. |
