Guess who's back, back again...
The new populist government of a small nameless country on your borders has begun to stringently go through the records of their @@DENONYMADJECTIVE@@ immigrants and deport any they can find an excuse to throw out. The problem is that several thousand @@DENONYMPLURAL@@ call the place home, and are far from enthusiastic about being deported.

[option] "I've lost it all!" laments @@RANDOMNAME@@, an extremely stereotypical-looking @@DENONYM@@ who emigrated decades ago, as @@HE@@ crosses the border to @@NAME@@ at gunpoint. "I left @@NAME@@ looking for opportunity and had to build myself up from nothing. For 50 years I worked in their economy, paid my taxes there and even had a family. Only now these bigots have expelled me just because I'm different from them. Could you help us please? I'll work, no problem, I just need some temporary housing and assistance before I can get back onto my own two feet again."

[option- has no emigration] "Oh great, I'm gonna have to live with a bunch of traitors and fakes," groans ultra-nativist @@RANDOMNAME@@ while picking @@HIS@@ teeth. "If it were up to me, I'd just send these so-called citizens right back and tell that foreign country to keep them. They broke the law leaving this great place anyway."

"If it were up to me, I'd just send these so-called citizens right back and tell that foreign country to keep them. We don't need to have our people leave just to come back destitute and should stop this from ever happening again- by banning desertion of this nation."

[option] "It's an outrage what's going on in that country," explains @@RANDOMNAME@@, a Skadilundian diplomat after pulling you aside from an international summit. "Their horrific treatment of immigrants must be condemned and countered. They think they can mistreat your emigrants just because they are poorer than, say, ours? Here, I've drafted a statement for you to express your shock at their regime, complete with sanctions and a threat of invasion if they don't cease.... what? Brute force is the only thing these kinds of racist populists understand."

[option] The country's president calls you to make their case. "It might look crude, but all I'm doing is fixing decades of lax immigration enforcement by my predecessors. If you don't want a horde of your people to be streaming back home, then make sure to tell them to comply with my country's immigration laws and there will be no problem. My government's even put all the requirements on our website, simple enough even for a @@DENONYM@@ to see it. Just have all papers in order, no criminal record or speeding ticket, an original birth certificate, 90% or higher score on the IQ test, 33 character references, 2 recent medical reports, a 10 year's wages good faith deposit, a written promise signed in triplicate to supply first born to the military, a 10% or higher score on our special @@DENONYM@@-friendly literacy test,......."
