| Message | Ordinary Aldegarians are generous people and donate heavily to charities which provide precisely these kind of services to refugee newcomers. There are also, of course, the existing immigrant communities themselves, which can play a role in integrating new arrivals. If we pour government money into these projects, the broader population will become resentful and begin demanding a halt to all immigrants and refugees altogether. We must also remember that government does not have a good track record in running these kinds of projects - they are far better left to other organisations.

| Message | Not sure that any of the options on the table is wholly satisfactory, but if they are genuine refugees then they certainly deserve aid. You can't just fling someone into poverty who's risked their life to flee a murderous tyranny. |
