| Message | Is there any chance to revise Article 5? We believe that it is a waste of time and money for the government to actively search houses for illegal aliens. |
| Date | 20:04:56, July 13, 2016 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Free Market Caucus Platform (January 4058 term) |
| Message | Sure, we see your point. The FMC just wants a more proactive approach to expelling illegal aliens, but not necessarily as far as randomly searching houses. Maybe something along the lines of a government agency to do non-intrusive investigative work to apprehend illegal aliens? |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
