| Message | "We should have minimum immigration rules to ensure the continuity and economic stability of our nation." Our immigration regulations have not changed in 200 years and our nation is continuous and economically stable. Basically, what you're saying is, if you're an incompetent Baltusian, you can stay but if you happen to lose the lottery to be born here, you can't enter. Somehow, by simply lucking out and being born here, you can restrict the access of other human beings to enjoy the rights, freedoms and safety of Baltusia. Methinks you are racially biassed. Good start to your time in the Senate: anti-religious and now a racist. |

| Message | Just because you want a higher quality country that doesent attract vagrants and then pays for them doesent make you a racist and yes the system does provide for incompetant Baltusians but only so that we can adequatly provide a competant governing system without being a center for attracting other countries unwanted. |

| Message | "Just because you want a higher quality country that doesent attract vagrants and then pays for them doesent make you a racist" On what basis are people being excluded? Because of where they come from. Because of their ethnic background. Because of their nationality. Sounds like racism to me. To make it clearer: Lazy Baltusians, not excluded. Lazy people from anywhere else, excluded. |

| Message | Believe us OP if we could get rid of those who do not commit sufficient effort into their great nation of Baltusia we would however i highly doubt you shall allow that one either. |

| Message | Only to idiots. Records indicate heliocentrism has been accepted since the -8th or -9th century (OOC: negative years and centuries indicates BC but since there was no Jesus in Particracy, I've used negative nmbers for pre-0 years). |
