| Message | M. Speaker, This government's imminent passage of the Immigration and Refugee Act necessitates passage of this bill. Shall we discriminate among the Terran nationalities while not doing so with undesirables in our own land? Nethuss Moctos AKC Leader |

| Message | Mr. speaker, There is a difference between race and nationality. The proposed quotas are to screen immigrants by nationality, not race. The proposed quotas don't discriminate between members of different races from the same nation; our nation should not discriminate between members of different races who live here either. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Vice President of GDR Lodamun |

| Message | M. Speaker, Of course Fertig would mischaracterize this bill. He voted against restrictions on nationality too. The policy reversed a merit based immigration system to one based on nationality, and it's incredulous to suggest race and nationality are not intertwined in this respect. This bill does not discriminate, it only requires registration. What happens after that will be determined by the Presidium and its laws. Nethuss Moctos AKC Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The other bill was intended to restrict immigrants from certain nations which have prevalent religions and ideologies which oppose Lodamese Nationalism and Lodamun's political culture; it is not about race, as far as I understand. As far as this bill is concerned, I find it unnecessary to have citizens registering their race. They already register their DNA, and nothing more is needed. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG, Vice President of GDR Lodamun |

| Message | Mr. Speaker We will be Voting against this bill, as we believe it is an issue unrelated to the act passed. Amy Lane Leader of the P.F within the Presidium |
