| Message | This is an attack on Kundrati Dundorfians! The KdW is considering the foundation of a party militia to counter racist tendencies encouraged by extreme nationalist. |
| Date | 13:30:38, December 22, 2006 CET | From | Demkratteja Lebraleiju Kundratatka | To | Debating the Emergency Immigration Reform Bill |
| Message | I agree with Article 2 and 3. We need to give Kundrati citizens a chance in their own country, as well as Kundrati Businesses. We know what is the purpose of the KdW, that is to turn this country over to the Dundorfians on a platter. We have an obligation to care for our citizens, as we are elected by them all, not just to look after one specific race or promote policies that would benefit the people of some foreign country, we elected to help the people of Kundrati. |

| Message | We believe this act is important for all Kundrati, not just those of native Kundrati stock. It is not in the interest of anyone, no matter their ethnic stock, to be swallowed up by other countries! |

| Message | As foreign minister of the Dundorf Democratic Republic, I have been invited to speak by our Dundorfian-Kundrati brothers. Our countries have long had connections of trade, culture, and geography. For centuries, Dundorfian citizens of all ethnicities - Dunns, Delics, and Trekkers - have crossed the Border River to reside in the neighboring land to the east. Though we have had difficulties in the past (Kundrati was among the first nations to oppose Dundorfian socialism) we have long been confident that friendship could be gained with any country in Terra. And for years, we have resided together without problems. Anyone who has studied Dundorf's politics knows that a great number of our brightest minds try to flee their country every year, driven away by the allure of wealth and greed. Many of them have chosen to live in Kundrati. At the same time, thousands of poor people, yearning for a different economic system, have also left to join your country. We have never prevented them from leaving; indeed, we encourage freedom of movement between all countries, even if it harms our own economy. Preventing immigrants from reaching their destinations because of senseless nationalism and xenophobia is one of the greatest crimes a nation can commit. Should Kundrati continue to hold back freedom of movement simply because it fears a rise in Dundorfian patriotism, we will be forced to take action more directly in aid of these good people. At this time, the DDR would like to express its total support for the Dundorfian ethnic cause in Kundrati, as national pride and liberation are some of the main struggles necessray to achieve socialism.
