Description[?]:
| Aaida el-Wali, AI Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, We are not a sponge! We cannot take in everyone and everything! We have to take back control of our borders. In the light of the recent influx in migration into Istalia, we clearly have to secure our borders and more importantly protect the ISTALIAN person from the threat which those migrants pose. Obviously some come with skill, but most are here for our good life and have no intention to integrate. Hence we need to protect our citizens with employment, which the "cheap" migrants may claim and with security, to not turn from the most advanced Majtran nation, to the most criminal. This is a pragmatic bill which proposes only to take those, which align with our values and are required in the market, whilst ensuring peace and security for our citizens! |
