Third panel discussion

Topic: We need an immigration law in Apollon.

First opinion:

Laura: She disagrees with making an immigration law, because the number of crime can increase and the number of our chance to work can decrease if we introduce it. Besides, she worries about public safety.

Me(Belle): I disagree, too. So we have to decide immigraters' political rights and think about their workplace if we make the law. It is difficult. Besides, I worry about the problem of race and religion and losing our unique culture.

Mac: He agrees, because we don't have enough young people to work in the future. Furthermore, communicating with foreigner makes us positive and we can learn a lot of things.

Angelina: She agrees with it. The number of working people decrease in the future. Apollon is a sightseeing country, so it is good to improve hospitality. Besides, we have a lot of rare plants,

and now botanists need to keep updating visa to stay and study here. Therefore, she thinks we should make the law.

Jack: He disagrees. If we accept immigraters, we have many problems. For example, the places where people live is limitted and need high buildings. If we make high buildings, they block the scenery. Besides, immigraters can will be homeless according to other country's cases. If it will be so, Apollon's public safety will get bad.

・About declining birthrate

Jack: If we don't have the law,  we should make more schools because Apollon don't have universities so I worry about the lack of schools. I think that one of the cause of small number of children is the lack of schools. The lack of schools make children go to another country's schools.
Mac: Even if we make more schools in Apollon, children who go to another country's school don't want to come back.
Jack: Why are you here now? You like here and you are here now aren't you?
Mac: Yes. Besides I can get the job here. But who can't get jobs here have to find jobs in another country and can't be here.
Jack: I don't think they want to live in another country forever. They have to go to another country because we don't have enough schools.
Angelina: I agree with Jack's idea, because if students go abrord, they make friends and want to be there.

・About public safety

Leaura: I think that public safety is more important than development. There is possibility that accidents between foreigner and us will happen because foreigner lived in different culture and language.
Mac: We speak English and there are many English speakers, so we can make friends and go together.
Leaura: It is difficult to understand foreigner's idea.
Jack: Some people can lost their jobs and be homeless by the difference of culture and language.
Angelina: Apollon is a sightseeing country, so we must used to talking with foreigners.
Jack: I think so, but actually, it is difficult.

・Questions

Tama: If the number of foreiners increase, what do you do without the law?
Jack: They should use visa. In case of working visa, companies accept only foreigners who have a great ability. If foreigner use it, public safety will keep good because the possibility of their becoming homeless is low.


George: Who permit foreign worker?(about working visa)
Jack: It is the government.
George: Are the workers immigraters?
Jack: No, working visa have the period for which is good, so they should update visa.


George: Don' t you think that accepting immigraters is risky?
Mac: Immigraters have to be judged strictly, so no problem.

・Conclusion

Apollon is a county that have people of different nationalities, so the discussion is meaningless.

・My comment

First, we should know that Apollon is a country that have people of different nationalities already.
Besides, I lose my position because I expected opposite side's opinions. It was a big mistake. Next time, I want to keep calm and speak more positively.
