Bill: Immigration Reform Bill 4381 (Liberty)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: passed
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: May 4382
Description[?]:
| Liberty would like to see our border system strengthened. Whilst we should welcome visitors, tourists and people who may wish to settle and contribute to our great country we cannot continue to be an open border dumping ground for the rest of Terra. We propose a quote system to protect our ethnic identity and we'd like nationality to be linked to parentage. The refugee system is also open to abuse. We propose that refugees demonstrate that they are under extreme duress rather than simply allow anyone to claim this status. Those who genuinely need our help could be looked after but not everyone without question at the taxpayers expense. Liberty would like a border measure somewhere between the change we proposed and what is currently policy. In fact, we feel there are two separate issues that need consideration with regard to this. Perhaps it could be further clarified in a separate bill. |
