Description[?]:
| Since it's extremely difficult to tell if a refugee is a victim or a parasite, I think we shouldn't help them that much IF the refugee is a victim of an extreme situation, he should be able to put his life back together in Selucia without too much aid IF he is a parasite, he will visit another nation that allows parasites like him |

| Message | Refugees who have suffered enough to be called "victims of extreme circumstances" probably don't have a lot of money to help themselves. |

| Message | Essentially, VBS, passing this bill would probably lead to an increase in crime, and the best way to discourage crime is to not encourage it in the first place. Surely, it costs a lot less than building new prisons... |
