| Message | Our view of an "integration centre" is a facility where they would be housed, and taught our national language [OOC: what is our national language???], assessed for contagious diseases, criminal records, etc., and learn about Wantuni, such that they could become valuable citizens. |

| Message | I have a problem with forcing illegal aliens into detention camps. The other 2 articles are fine so I'll have to vote no. |

| Message | We sort of like article 2, Article 1 is worded in a sort of scary fashion but isn't a deal-breaker, but we object to article 3. |
