Message | What makes the PFM think they cannot feed themselves. Immigrants are typically those who are among the hardest working people in a nation. Think about it they picked up themselves and their familes moved into a new nation. This kind of person is not one who will then sit around and milk the system, these are the go getters of the world and we should be doing everything in our power to get them in our nation, and then make them citizens. |

Message | Support, PP. Besides We changed this 5 years ago, and I think there was a poll in the paper Supporting it. |

Message | We do want the kind of people PP are talking about to our country that is for sure. However "typically" is not a word which can or should be used in this case, since there is and can be different reasons for immigrants to leave there own country, but a god bet would be that most donīt have good opportunities in their own country, and as such, they should have it in our, if they can carry some of their own weight! The PFM fears that our own people in the long length of time, will suffer!!! |

Message | Our point exactly, they left because they did not have opportunites in their old nation. These people are the kind who do not look for handouts rather the chance to make something of themselves. Introducing quotas leads to illegal immigration, illegal labor, poor working conditions and the like. If the will not carry their own weight what do they gain by moving here? |

Message | More people means more jobs, we hardly have jobs enough to our own people, hence unemployement, hence more from the state, however not, if we get the right immigrants..... |

Message | I think thats a selfish way to look at immigration (don't want to feed them). But I voted aye because I firmly believe that we should not be allowing criminals into this country. |

Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
