On Monday, Senator Langdon came into his new office and wiped down the desk.

Originally this was done by his assistant, but Senator Langdon, who had worked his way up from the bottom, always did it himself.

The purpose of his doing this is to keep telling himself not to forget where he came from.

This is a very important thing.

It was even more important than anything else, he wasn't really a "master" after all.

Just look at those old men in other offices!

Except for people like the York Gang who have no background, the other senators basically come from political families or from capital forces.

They have been at the finish line of others since they were born. They can come into the office at ten o'clock in the morning and sit in that leather chair with their feet up on the table.

Then light a cigarette, pick up the newspaper, and spend time aimlessly in the sun.

Because they are masters, masters in the true sense!

Even if they do nothing, the power will not abandon them. They are still members of the Federation's precious ruling class.

As for Senator Langdon, he climbed up from the bottom. Apart from Lynch, he has no power to rely on.

The York Gang, or those capitalists who have a good relationship with him in private, these are just benefits based on "I am Mr. Lynch's person".

Once Lynch abandons him, these things will also leave him.

Therefore, he must stay alert at all times and warn himself that now is not the time to enjoy happiness!

At nine o'clock, I wipe the table myself, sweep the floor myself, and make myself a cup of coffee.

At half past nine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat behind his desk.

The mist curling up from the mouth of the coffee cup was peeled off from the coffee cup bit by bit by mysterious power, and then dissipated in the air.

His assistant also sent over the backlog of documents over the weekend, which he needed to deal with.

Federal people have a very special obsession with "holidays". No one wants to be disturbed during their holidays. Some people even try not to work and finish their vacations.

It is difficult for normal people to think clearly about their obsession with holidays.

So even if documents were delivered over the weekend, as long as they were not documents that Senator Langdon was highly concerned about, they would not bother him.

The documents in the assistant's hands had been sorted in different orders. After saying thank you, Senator Langdon picked up the first copy and read it.

A document of little value, about environmental issues on the ground.

As the era of fully entering the shelter is getting closer, some factories are applying to lift the environmental ban, on the grounds that they need to produce at full capacity as soon as possible and prepare a large amount of supplies and parts for the federation before entering the shelter.

It sounds reasonable. These people believe that once we enter the shelter era, the pollution on the ground has nothing to do with the environment in the shelter.

But in fact, in the absence of ice, the pollution will still penetrate deep into the ground and even invade the groundwater system.

This may contaminate the water resources of the refuge. Once the water resources of the refuge are contaminated, it is likely to cause unpredictable disasters.

So these applications were rejected.

The rest was mostly like this, they were all unimportant documents. Senator Langdon casually wrote down his opinions, signed his name and threw them into the document basket aside.

Almost the whole morning was spent processing these documents, and sometimes he needed to make phone calls to consult on some matters. In short, these were his jobs.

Around twelve o'clock, he picked up the last document and was a little surprised.

This document is a very obvious draft proposal, because its name is written on the first page of the dossier——

"Draft for the Introduction of Shelter Population"

The sponsor is a federal senator with a profound background. He is a very high-ranking member of the Budget Committee and presides over a lot of work.

He rubbed his eyes, asked his secretary to bring him another cup of coffee, and then began to read carefully in the sunshine.

The core content of this draft is that most shelters in the Federation are currently underpopulated, considering that consortiums and private capital have invested a lot of effort in this area.

If left unchecked, in addition to causing a waste of resources, it will also be a "blow" to capital.

Of course, it is impossible for the federal government to actively promote people to go to private shelters. On the overall trend, the federal government still focuses on maintaining the interests of official federal shelters.

But isn’t there an alternative solution that can quickly fill these vacancies without harming the core interests of the federal government? So there is this draft!

Starting immediately, federal unofficial refuges will be able to accept applications from natural humans from around the world.

Once passed, they will automatically obtain the status of federal citizens and enjoy the rights of federal citizens.

There are currently vacancies for at least several million people in private shelters, so this time there will be no less than 10 million immigration quotas opened.

At the same time, this draft provides some provisions and explanations for the detailed content of immigration bodies. For example, scientific research talents will be directly approved. People with outstanding professional abilities and young women are all groups who are more likely to be approved.

What surprised Senator Langdon a little was that the application requirements for minors under the age of twelve were very strict, even stricter than some elderly people.

He wasn't sure if there was anything going on here, but it was probably nothing more than the thoughts of some medical institutions and the top levels of society.

It is said that some people have even proposed the idea of ​​stripping "reproductive rights" from citizens. Precisely controlling the total population will make it easier to manage the daily management of the shelter.

In other words, whether couples in the shelter can have children in the future will most likely need to be determined through a lottery.

If you hit the mark, you can give birth.

If you don't shake it, you can't give birth.

Even this "birth" is not necessarily born in the mother's body. It is most likely that it is genetically compiled and born in a medical bag used to imitate the uterus!

After reading the entire draft, Senator Langdon lit a cigarette. After a while, he seriously thought about some of the stakes in this document, and then he picked up the phone.

He wants to talk to the sponsor of the proposal again. Sometimes what is written on the document may not be what they want you to see.

And even if some content appears in the form of a written document, it may not necessarily be what you understand.

Otherwise, there is no need for "right of interpretation" in doctrines and laws. Although the word descriptions in the common language are not very rigorous, this lack of rigor gives people a lot of room for manipulation.

As a very powerful political gang in Congress, the York Gang was obviously very cautious about Senator Langdon's call.

He carefully explained the reason for initiating this draft and confirmed that the actual purpose of this draft is to solve the problem of too many vacancies in many shelters.

After the friendly communication, he took the document to Global Communications' temporary office. Two minutes later, Lynch in Nagaril got the document.

"I've talked to... and he's been approached by a lot of shelter operators who want someone to move forward with this."

"After my investigation, I found that, except for a very small number of private shelters, they are basically short of people, and the gap is huge."

"The Enterprise Security Act has caused more federal residents to move to official shelters, and it is difficult for private shelters to provide the same benefits and protections."

"Just cheap drugs and surgical services, they can't achieve parity or even low prices."

"So those people hope that by reopening the immigration window, they can recruit more people from the outside to fill the vacancies!"

Senator Langdon told Lynch, who was inspecting Nagaril, what he learned. Lynch did not express his opinion immediately, but read the draft carefully.

The content of the draft is actually not too much, only about ten pieces of paper in total.

The core content is only two pages.

After reading it, he put the document on the table, "I can support this proposal, but I also have some ideas of my own."

On the other end of the phone, Senator Langdon had picked up a pen and was ready to record Lynch's thoughts, "You said it, I'm listening."

"If a large number of people are introduced, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the emotions of the residents in the shelter, and it may also cause some consortiums to have a psychological reversal in recruiting residents."

"There are not too many vacancies in official shelters. I think it is very appropriate to maintain the current situation. Leaving a ten percent flexible quota for each shelter will help with subsequent development."

"I am very opposed to filling it all up according to the construction quota. Once the new population starts to explode, it will be a serious challenge to the living environment in the shelter."

"So we need to provide insurance to these capitalists. The number of federal citizens in all private refuges and the number of new immigrants must be maintained at a certain ratio."

"And the number of federal citizens needs to be greater than the number of citizens to attract. You can discuss the specific value."

"This way, private shelters will not lower their standards or even remove federal citizens from the list of shelter residents because of the cheap immigration."

"In addition, immigrants cannot be directly granted citizenship status. They should have a lower social status than federal citizens."

“With their subsequent efforts, whether it’s work or something else, they can catch up with the social status of federal citizens.”

"These practices can very well appease the emotions of local citizens and can also ease conflicts between different groups in the shelter."

"Put the draft and what I said to the media, and discuss it among yourselves, and let more people participate..."
