Moderator: Tama
Agree side: Angelina, Mac
Disagree side: Laura, Belle, Jack
The opinions of disagree side

L: She worries that crimes increase and Apollon's people lose their workplaces because of immigration.
B: We have to think about the political rights of immigrants and losing the workplaces of Apollon's residents. Moreover, she worries the problem of race, region and losing unique culture.
J: If we accept immigrants, we have to make high buildings and it will block the scenery. And also, immigrants easily become homeless all over the world, the public safety will get worse.

The opinions of agree side
A: The number of working people in APollon decreases. Besides, we have many plants and the botanists need to stay and study here, so we should accept immigrants willingly.
M: According to the graph, the number of children decrease in Apollon, so in the future, the working population will decrease. Moreover, communicating with people from other countries make us positive and we can learn many things.

J: Why is the birth rate declining? I think there are a few schools in Apollon, so children tend to go to another countries. We should make more schools in Apollon.
M: Even if we make schools, I think children do not want to come back to Apollon.
J: Why are you here?
M: Because I could get a job here. However, I think people who do not have abilities to get jobs have to go to other countries.
J: I think they did not want to go to other countries at first. They had to go due to the lack of schools.
A: I agree with Jack. If they make friends in other countries, they will live there forever.

L: Mac said that we should invite people to Apollon for developing the country, but I worry about the problem of public safety because we cannot communicate with immigrants who have different languages and cultures.
M: We speak English, so we can be friends.
L: But I do not think everyone can do that.
J: There are many cases of immigrants. Working together is difficult, so they lose their works.
M: Some people lose their jobs because of lack of skills.
A: Apollon is a sightseeing country, so we have been talking with foreigners.
J: I think so, but I think it is difficult.

M: If the number of foreigners increase, what do you do for foreigners, agree members?
J: They should use visa. Companies accept only the people who have working visa, so apollon's industry will not get worse. The public safety will not also get bad.

M: We have to think about the declining birth rate before thinking immigration laws. How do you think, disagree members?
A: If we do not accept immigrants, the working population will decrease over next 20 years and the number of people will be too less to work.

Question
Ashley: I do not know if you guys accept immigration or not.
Panelists: Yeah, you are right. We had to think about that.
Rovert: Who gives visa? Company?
Panelists: The government. The visa is not included in immigration laws because visa has a limit.

Conclusion
They had no time to conclude their ideas.

My comment
I thought it was a good point that panelists discussed lively. However, on the other hand, they were divided in opinion and could reach no conclusion. If they set up the condition well after setting a theme, their discussion will get better.
