In relation to Georgia, my understanding, and I may be wrong about this, is that it is a reasonably stable country. On what grounds can we accept someone coming in from that country, on the basis of it being democratic? I have done election observation in Georgia. While it might have been several years ago, it is a reasonably stable country. I refer to this just as an example of a country where we are talking about people coming in from.
