""Ideology and prejudice is part of the discussion. I'm convinced that the left challenges the law simply because it carries the marks of the [rightwing] justice minister. [But] there are good reasons to limit the free movement of people to protect the domestic labour market. And this has next to nothing to do with xenophobia," says Gees."
Switzerland is apparently putting to a vote a plan to limit immigration from outside of the EU to highly skilled workers. Moreover: "Switzerland will have harsher restrictions than the EU : if the law is approved by voters : because immigrants will only be given 12 months to bring any of their children 12 years of age and older into the country.
And anyone found in the country illegally will now face a maximum jail term of 24 months."

People in Switzerland aren't stupid. They also all have guns. They have to. They're all in the military. That's why there's not many poor people in Switzerland. They're not stupid, they have jobs, they have guns, and they have laws. And, they make watches, so everyone knows when it's time to cut the crap! LOL

It seems the Swiss are as usual,right on "time" no pun intended.
That was a very interesting article Dar thank you again.
Id love to see that implemented here in the US .It could be if the government would listen to intelligent people with sound workable plans,instead of pandering to big business like they always do.
