RZ8 - The Immigration Reform Take Whatever Act

Published in Clark #2

33 RZ8 - The Immigration Reform, Take Whatever, Act [superseded by 34RZ2]

WHEREAS, a nationwide consensus exists that Talossan immigration laws
themselves are in some part responsible for the drop-off in immigration
since the year 2000, and

WHEREAS, discussions on Wittenberg and at TalossaFest 2004 have revealed a
broad consensus in favour of immigration reform, though not necessarily on
all specifics, and

WHEREAS, someone has to get the ball rolling, and it might as well be me,

THEREFORE, the Ziu hereby enacts the following legislation into law as the
official Talossan rules for immigration procedure, understanding that all
older legislation which is directly in conflict with the principles outlined
herein is thereby rendered null and void, to the extent of the conflict.

1. Non-Talossans shall become Talossan citizens through the immigration
   process outlined herein. No person who is already a Talossan citizen shall
   be affected by this legislation.
   
   
   
   
2. In order to become a Talossan citizen, a non-citizen (hereafter, "the
   prospective") shall notify the Immigration Minister of his intent to acquire
   Talossan citizenship. He must provide proof of identity to the satisfaction
   of the Immigration Minister.
   
   
   
3. Upon completion of step #2, the prospective shall be granted a Wittenberg
   account and must explain publicly, on Wittenberg, his reasons and
   motivations for seeking Talossan citizenship.
   
   
4. Upon completion of step #3, the Immigration Minister, in consultation
   with the Government and with the Opposition Leader, shall either grant or
   refuse the prospective citizen Talossan citizenship. In the event of
   refusal, the prospective may repeat the process.
   
   
   
5. If citizenship is granted under step #4, the person shall be considered a
   naturalized Talossan for all purposes, legal and moral.
   
   
   
6. Members representing one-third of the Cosâ may, by resolution, during a
   period of one year following the naturalization of any prospective under
   this Act, express its official protest against the naturalization. In this
   event, the Ziu must itself ratify the person's citizenship, by law, or else
   the citizenship lapses.
   
   
   
7. Any person naturalized under the provisions of this Act shall have one
   year following the date of his naturalization, to complete the Civics Exam
   and any other requirements for citizenship which may hereafter be imposed by
   law. Failure to complete these assignments within the one-year period shall
   result in the automatic termination of said citizenship.
   
   
   
   
8. No person granted Talossan citizenship prior to 21 September 2004 shall
   be affected in any way by this Act.
