| Whereas a test for nationals seeking citizenship in Rildanor is against our policy of welcoming immigrants.

Be it resolved that we denounce previous attempts to install discriminatory tests to decide citizenship, and immediately remove them as a part of recieving citizenship. |

| Message | Sigh, here we go again. Last term we finally got it to the current value, and this term undermining awaits us already. Opposed, becuase we don't want any lunatics from who knows where and who is who knows where to claim nationality just by stating so. |

| Message | ...I did not say all immigrants were lunatics, especially not innocent ones. But those who are we should not allow to claim nationality as if it is nothing. |
