| Message | I cannot support this, although I don't like to be a meanie to immigrants I do believe that it would be beneficial to the immigrant to understand the ways of Telamon and its people. If people come here and don't know anything about the country then they are more likely to end up being excluded by society. |

| Message | We're only testing them to ensure they know something about our language and culture. The tests actually help them as they cover practical things such as how to open a bank account, how the political, education and health systems work and how to find jobs etc. as well as a little on our language, culture and history. The tests are not designed to prevent people from gaining citizenship, they are only to ensure that new citizens can play an active and meaningful role in our society |

| Message | Tests of this nature are historically used to discriminate against energetic immigrants eager to share in the abundance of Telamon. |
