Details
Submitted by[?]: Primitivist Ethno-Heathen Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2076
Description[?]:
| The current refugee law of Davostan is clearfully woefully naïve and innapropriate. We have sent a signal to every outcast all over the world that they can settle in our nation and not have to answer to anyone. Every month, more and more swarm over our borders, all supposedly "refugees" seeking asylum in our nation, but clearly just taking advantage of our gullibility. We cannot allow this to continue. We propose a complete halt to the practice of allowing refugees into our nation. |

Proposal[?] to change The national refugee policy.
Old value:: All refugees are welcome, regardless of their reason, and given aid in integrating them into the country.
Current: No refugees are allowed to enter the country.
Proposed: No refugees are allowed to enter the country.

| Message | Ditto. Please say something other than "This is wrong." That doesn't help anyone. OOC: Imagine if somebody said that in Congress/Parliament? |

| Message | Our party would much rather prefer another alternative to this legislation.Both current and proposed legislation are too extreme.Allowing everyone in the country would eventually lead to the economical deficit and inflation.Accepting no refugees at all seems far too radical and inhuman. However if immigration is regulated and only those refugees who seek to enter our country due to extreme circumstances are allowed, those individuals will only appreciate their new homeland better.Extreme circumstances should be qualified as the situation where life, health and mental health are endangered.For example if an individual is facing murder or torture because of political beliefs. As it stands, we will vote no to this bill. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
