| Message | Before the elections when I moved this to a vote it was widely opposed. I wonder why? I think it's essential we give citizenship to all nationals, so that we don't open the system up to racism. If we find illegal immigrants we should put them in integration centers, so they can become full citizens. We shouldn't ship them off in trains, especially since we need them to perform nastier jobs. Finally, we should open up the borders to everyone, and grant them all citizenship, because frankly we need more people. We're one of the largest nations in terms of land mass, but one of the smaller ones in population. Let's close this gap. |

| Message | I think a qualifying exam and quotas is better, since that means that not everybody can just come in and cause whatever rampage they want to do. At least with the exam and quotas it is regulated and the situation can be overseen. |
