Immigration Bill of Loudenia – UPDATED/AMMENDED BY COMMITTEE

Sponsors: Laura Stroebel, Lusine Tarlamazyan

Whereas Loudenia has an industrial based economy and high-salary jobs, this attracts many immigrants from the Middle East to come and find work in our country.

Whereas the labor population is currently bigger than the population of people with Loudenese citizenship.

Whereas these immigrants have to find a place in our community and these recently receiving the Loudenese citizenship have to be integrated into our society.

Whereas the collision of different cultures can cause tensions and therefore we have to find a peaceful and tolerant way to live together in harmony and support the cross-culture exchange.

Whereas Loudenese is not the 1^st language for every person living in Loudenia and this has to be changed.

Whereas Loudenia already faces unemployment problems which widen the rich-poor gap, it cannot open its labor market without restriction of immigration.

Be it resolved that

1) Work Permits are given to either highly-qualified refugees. The work permission lasts for 2 years and has to be renewed.

2) The Committee on Application for Immigration is in charge for giving the loudenese citizenship. They will orientate on Application processes of other European countries. The maximum number of given citizenships is 500000 per year.

3) Student visas are still given.

4) Scholarships are provided to a extended number of students from the Middle East who don’t have the opportunity to do study in their country. They have to pass specified exams to receive these.

5) Per immigrated children entering in school there will be money given to the school to improve the conditions for the process of learning Loudenese.

6) The Loudenese government sponsors projects that are related or based on cultural exchange.

In the case of Turkey’s accession to the EU, our immigration problem would be mostly solved as most of Loudenese immigrants come from Turkey.

Amendments discussed in Committee but not confirmed:

1) Article 5) should be deleted.
