| Message | Mr Speaker, Whatever our individual/personal religious beliefs, I believe the UHD have presented here a proposal which represents the best of the Hosian spirit of caring and charity. I will be delighted when my party votes in favour of this proposal. Nic Stefan Președinte al Confederației Kizenian Partidul Lucrătorilor |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It seems obvious that the United "Hosian" Democrats are hell-bent on making this country less Hosian, and give us even more problems with ethnic divisions. The Freedom Front will always be here to ensure that the rights of the tax-paying free citizen of the Confederacy comes first. Regina Tóth Vice Coordinator & Parliamentary group leader Freedom Front |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Granting sanctuary to those in need makes us more Hosian, not less. The religious beliefs (or lack of religious beliefs) of the refugees does not matter. They are our fellow human beings, and we owe a duty of charity to them. Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union |

| Message | Mr Speaker, And to give us more Kalopian Horses inside our borders I would like to add. We already have the Kuzaki having their own state inside our borders despite not even being an indigenous community - and a fair risk that they'll turn to alien tyrannies such as Fascist Mikuni-Hulstria to advance their own agenda. Now they want us to import savages so that the attention of barbaric fascist states such as Jelbania can be drawn to us. The U"H"D hates our own people. Izabella Nemes Animals, Nature and other Cute Stuff Spokesperson Freedom Front |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Charity must always be voluntary and can thus never come from the state. If people want to donate stuff to foreigners in dire situations, they are free to do so. As the Annunciation says: man does not live by bread alone. Removing people from the roots is a very dangerous thing to do. The nations are a natural extension of the family unit, something I would think a self-proclaimed Hosian party would want to protect. Not to mention the Yeudi-Hosian foundations of our democracy that definitely not all people of the world share - especially not the kind of people my esteemed colleague mentioned. Regina Tóth Vice Coordinator & Parliamentary group leader Freedom Front |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I have heard the Freedom Front repeatedly refer to 'big momma' or 'nanny' state. Clearly, what they mean is a government which unnecessarily interferes in the lives of its citizens. I ask them, how do they reconcile this belief with the suggestion that the government should be in the business of regulating who enters the nation, what their religion is, where they came from and so on. Are they not, as neo-liberals, talking through one side of their mouth on economics and through another on social and moral matters?

| Message | Mr Speaker, That is quite easy to explain actually: for the same reason as we support environmental regulations. This is a matter that concerns every New Endralonian taxpayer, as we all collectively own the nation and the state. I can't say I'm surprised to see the Labour Party betray the working class by letting in foreigners to leech on their security and basic needs and threatening them with their barbaric customs. Having a welfare state and immigration at the same time is an especially dangerous combination. It seems like both of the socialist parties here - for I honestly cannot view the "Hosian" Democrats as remotely that, are hell-bent on a new civil war. Regina Tóth Vice Coordinator & Parliamentary group leader Freedom Front |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I genuinely could not care less the religion of my next door neighbour, nor the colour of his skin, nor his country of birth. So long as he stays our of my way, he is of no consequence to my existence. The most dangerous individuals are already in the Confederation, they are the monetarist New Endralonians who put their own profit motive above the collective need of the workers.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Letting all "refugees" enter would indeed lead to a big inport of people which we cannot house nor feed. We arent a super wealthy nation. Our land is a medium developed economy according to the World Congress statistics. Secondly we agree to help refugees but not forever and not as luxurous as this. We vote against this bill. H. Hunyad Leader of the NEPP |

| Message | Mr Speaker, It is horrible to hear our president equating civilized people with democratic values with savages who stone gays, rape women of other religions or sell them as slaves, force their own women to walk around like ghosts, views their own superiority over others as "sacred" etc. It's even worse hearing him espousing anti-Zyldav sentiments. Strengthens my feeling of him looking for a new civil war. Importing unemployment and leeching off welfare as well as barbarism, rape and criminality into impoverished areas is a direct attack on the Kizenian working class. And an assault on God's work, on top of that. Horrific to see two parties pursing policies who are the exact opposite of what their voters thought they were all about. Regina Tóth Vice Coordinator & Parliamentary group leader Freedom Front |
| Date | 18:57:53, October 25, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Social Democrat | To | Debating the Refugees Act |
| Message | Mr Speakers, Why is the Vice Coordinator obsessed with raping women? Nobody else has even so much as mentioned anything of the sort. The kind of deluded, bigoted rhetoric that the Freedom Front spouts is what really has no place in Kizenia. No wonder her party was so clearly rejected by the voters. Also note that I said 'monetarist New Endralonians'- totally different from Zyldav. Nic Stefan Președinte al Confederației Kizenian Partidul Lucrătorilor |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, In response to feedback from the other parties, particularly from our coalition partners the NEPP, we have moderated the proposal, so that not all refugees are allowed in, but those who are allowed in are given the support they need. Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union Minister of Justice |
| Date | 09:32:04, October 26, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Poporului Noului Endralon | To | Debating the Refugees Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The plans of the Minister of Justice is acceptable. We agree that people should integrate and absorb our fine cultures and gain a good safe haven. With this proposal we can live and thus support it. Henrik Hunyad Leader of the NEPP |
| Date | 13:35:00, October 26, 2016 CET | From | Demokratikus Liberális Párt | To | Debating the Refugees Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, "Extreme circumstances" exists in all corners of the world were undemocratic ideologies such as Communism or Ahmadism prevail. Depending on who interpret this, it could be a carte blanche to mass-import the enemies of freedom to our country. We will do everything in our power to revise this. Regina Tóth Vice Coordinator & Parliamentary group leader Freedom Front |
