| Message | Jackson Bailey, Shadow Foreign Minister "At its height, Talmoria has been a modern and cosmopolitan state. Talmorians have been citizens of the world as much as they have been citizens of our nation. By throwing up barriers to international travel and trade, we present a bad face to the world and we hamper our own opportunities. It is time to tear down our walls and to make our borders invisible, so that we can let the opportunity the world brings us saunter in." |

| Message | Hasina Attah, Deputy General Secretary of the United Boroist Cadre, Portfolio of Trade and Industry: "The United Boroist Cadre is a pan-racial, pan-gender, pan-religion, and pan-sexuality socialist movement. We agree fundamentally that Talmoria is better as a country that welcomes immigrants and tourists into our nation. We agree with the Alliance on these points. However, that openness to people of all types, must not inherently mean that we accept the values of multinational corporations, billionaires, and plutocrats as those of our own. They seek to smash down Talmorian industry, not raise it up as the Shadow Foreign Minister would have us believe. Any government serving the interests of working class Talmorians must have the option of using trade to protect the people from the predations of foreign capital where necessary." |

| Message | Jackson Bailey, Shadow Foreign Minister: "Representative Attah, while I know harsh words have been exchanged between our caucuses I've gone ahead and removed the offending proposal. We can address it in a separate piece of legislation. For now, we hope the Boroist Cadre will be able to join us in a vote on the current proposal." |
