Bill: Land of Freedom Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Conservative Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2183
Description[?]:
| As we suggested earlier, it would be a Christian deed to let those poor, unfortunate Dundorfian souls find shelter in our Empire, which will become a Land of Freedom for them - not to mention this can also gain us a good reputation among the international community, in any case a better reputation than if we were to bombard Dundorf or take any other violent measure. Nonetheless, we should take care not to let Communist agents enter our Holy Empire and undermine our stability. So, the Conservative Party initiates this bill: |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The national refugee policy.
Old value:: Only refugees that are victims of extreme circumstances are welcome; they are given integration-aid.
Current: Only refugees that are victims of extreme circumstances are welcome; they are given integration-aid.
Proposed: All refugees are welcome but no financial aid is given to them.
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change Travel by foreigners to the nation.
Old value:: The nation imposes minimal border controls on visitors, with cursory security checks, to confirm visitor identities.
Current: The nation imposes minimal border controls on visitors, with cursory security checks, to confirm visitor identities.
Proposed: The nation imposes strict border control on visitors, with intensive security checks, to maintain law and order.

| Message | This should be accompanied by a public invitation to Christians from Dundorf and a promise to repatriate them after the regime change. |

| Message | I agree with you, PUP, but this is a job for the government, not for a opposition Party. |
| Date | 19:07:17, February 08, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Land of Freedom Act |
| Message | What land of freedom did you have in mind? The freedom to wait in long lines for intensive security checks to eventually get to them? The freedom to come here as refugees, having lost everything, and to be given no financial assistance from the government that has encouraged them to come? And if they don't pass their intensive security checks, do we then dump them back in Dundorf territory, to face whatever horrors await them there? And you call yourselves Christians. Shame on you. The SPP welcomes persecuted Dundorfian refugees; but this legislation is not the way to do it. |

| Message | In the current situation, we can not allow Dundorfian refugees to enter Luthori unchecked. If we gave them financial aid, not only would we be suffocated by a mass of parasytes wanting to live on our back, but also most certainly our budget wouldn't be able to cope with so much refugees. If you, as the main political force, think it would be financially cpossible to give them integration aids, then we will remove article 1 immediately. |

| Message | Can I just state that article two is not related to the refugees, but to people who have travelled to Luthori for non-refugee reasons, like tourism, or immigration, or business. |
