| Message | the meaning of refugees is that they comes from a country where they cannot stay. Therefor we should help these to an acceptable life in one of the neighbouring states from where they belong. When it is safe to return to their homecountry, where they've unwillingly has been threathen from, and prosumely wnat to go back to, we should arrange this, therefore there is no sense in integrating refugees in Hobrazia. Immigrants is a whole other discussion. This group (refugees) wish to come back home to where they belong. This is easier when taken care by in a closer destination. |

| Message | Wasn't it the HPP who proposed this anti-refugee bill in the first place and who has alway's opposed immigration of any kind? Now you are empathetic to their plight only as long as they don't stay in Hobrazia? I am confused by your stance on this. And which neighboring states would accept our unwanted refugees that we just discard and drop on their side of the border? I'm sure Malivia would love our unwanted refugees..it is almost like a gift to a neighbors. |

| Message | i meant that refugees should be as close of their homecountry as possible and therfore should be in refugee camps in the neighbouring countries of the one they have fleed. Concerning refugees in Hobrazia i think that the current law covers what is neccesary, and that refugees in our coutry should return home when the situation at home changes to the better. |
