| Message | And what would happened if our policy of border controls became more liberal? This bill would be an open door for all these stincky sects! The dAda paRtY will not support this bill. |

| Message | I cant see border controls becoming more liberal anytime soon given the current political situation. How do you define exactly what a foreign missionary is? Is any religious person crossing our border considered a missionary? Does one have to have political affiliation to be considered a missionary? Is a foreigner who happens to mention religion in conversation with a local considered a missionary? What about religious charities? these are tough questions for those who argue that government intervene in the affairs of 'missionaries' |

| Message | The dAda paRtY is totally opposed to any religion. So the border politics will not change our mind about the asservissment of people minds to silly superstitions. |
