THE IMMIGRATION ACT
A resolution to officialize the definition of citizenship

AUTHOR: Vista Major, MP
DATE: September the 4th, 2015 AD

PREAMBLE
There has been much debate regarding who is a citizen, who is not, and who is entitled to certain rights under certain tiers. Yet there are few, if any, laws officially defining citizenship. This law shall fix that by defining citizenship and the rights thereof.

ARTICLE I:
There shall be two official tiers of citizenship: Domestic and Foreign

ARTICLE II:
Domestic citizenship shall be granted to those who have appropriately applied for citizenship (via an official citizenship application) and meet all requirements.

ARTICLE III:
In order to become a Domestic Citizen, one must reside in the region at least 5 days (subject to grace or prolonging, based on the situation and one's standing, to be determined by civil court), have World Assembly membership on their main nation or a recognized puppet, and agree to uphold the Constitution and Law Code of the Commonwealth of Free Nations.

ARTICLE IV:
Domestic citizenship can be stripped partially or fully if a nation CTEs (ceases to exist), or violates Commonwealth law that incurs a punishment of partial or full revocation of citizenship.

ARTICLE V:
Foreign citizenship shall be granted to those who have appropriately applied for citizenship (via an official citizenship application) and meet all requirements, yet are not within the Commonwealth.

ARTICLE VI:
In order to become a Foreign Citizen, one must not reside within the Commonwealth of Free Nations, they must have World Assembly membership on their main nation or a recognized puppet, and agree not to be hostile towards the Commonwealth of Free Nations or any of its members.

ARTICLE VII:
Foreign citizenship can be stripped partially or fully if a nation CTEs (ceases to exist), or violates foreign-related Commonwealth law that incurs a punishment of partial or full revocation of citizenship.

ARTICLE VIII:
Domestic citizens have the right to fully participate in the Parliament, as well as hold public office and be part of a political party, and enjoy the full privileges and advantages of the Commonwealth in general.

ARTICLE IX:
Foreign citizens may participate in Parliament at a reduced capacity (ie, they cannot propose legislation, only vote), be part of a political party, and enjoy other general freedoms. Foreign citizens cannot hold public office. All rights and privileges regarding participation in government may be reviewed and amended by civil court.

ARTICLE X:
Residents of a state, protectorate, etc. of the Commonwealth may be granted Foreign citizenship, with additional rights shared with Domestic citizens.

ARTICLE XI:
At any time, a vote of Parliament can redefine citizenship.

Other than that, this bill looks good. I hereby endorse this bill.

While I recognize the value and importance we have placed on foreign citizens, I'm of the mind that should not have a say in domestic policy. I would endorse this if that specific language were changed.

I would rather keep reduced Parliament power as a thing, as citizens are entitled to it. And yes, office should be off limits
Otherwise, a civil court could decided these things
