Possible option missing

Haerodonia

After a series of bloody wars between the nations of Maxtopia and North Bigtopia, fights have broken out in the streets between immigrants in Haerodonia who came from the warring nations.

The Debate
"Foreigners are a major cause of civil disturbances," begins Roxanne Wall, whose opinions form the book '101 Arguments FOR Slavery'. "What we should do is make all immigrants, foreigners, and non-native Haerodonia folks slaves! I mean, who in Haerodonia wouldn't like a minority slave group to do his bidding? Imagine! People could be bought and sold over the Internet!"
[Accept]


"I am shocked and appalled at what my colleague is suggesting!" exclaims Peggy Hamilton, President of the Civil Rights Union of Haerodonia. "Slavery? We should punish these offenders, yes, but send them to rehabilitation centres instead! As for the ethnic squabbles, programs in school should begin to stop these racist attitudes in childhood! All it will take is some slight fortification to the education budget!"
[Accept]


A quiet old man stands up to speak. "Now, I may be a quiet old man, but I believe that these ethnic disputes are none of the government's business. It's not our war anyway, so it's not our problem. I'm sure if you leave it alone, it'll work itself out. Just think of the money that would be saved if the police don't have to be paid to deal with this!"
[Accept]


"It's not our war? It's not our war?" cries (in)famous Haerodonia-born fascist Calvin Love. "Well maybe it's time it became our war! Haerodonia should take a more active, and by 'active' I mean 'hostile', role in international politics! This ethnic squabbling will be over when the war is over, and WE can end that war and purge the impure! W00t!! Sieg Haerodonia!"
[Accept]


I have strong feelings about how I would deal with this issue, so I don't really want to dismiss it, but I don't really agree with any of these options. I suppose the nearest option would be number 2. But I think that the best way to stop these people fighting in my nation would be to send them back to Maxtopia or wherever.

Ok, but no new options are going to be added. It's just not done. Tradition states that issues are only edited to correct typos. And if you don't follow tradition, you're no better than a foreigner. As dismissing it doesn't affect your nation in anyway, you might want to do that, rather than choose an option you disagree with.
