Swiss voters take hard line on asylum and immigration

Good for Switzerland.

One can only hope the EU pulls it's head out of it's own ar.se and make similar changes, lest they allow populists to capitalise on the issue.

indubitably. I was just thinking that maybe you're one of these lucerne whackos who claim their sorry excuse for fasnacht to be the biggest ;)


Nah, Basel rules the fastnacht world. look out for me next Feb 26th - I'll be the one in the funny costume and mask........oh wait......:crazyeye:
 
Yes immigrant are bad, I really hate the people who make up stories of persecution in their Homeland so they have to be refugee's in other countires and they really mess everything up!

But Real Immigrants are great people who contribute alot to local culture
 
What is it with countries going anti immigrant all of a sudden?

If you are thinking of emigrating, forget it. Everybody wants to keep their precious little groups together.
 
No I'm not anti Immigrant but I don't like Illegal Aliens, but even then I think some of them Deserve Amnesty
 
I just read that the new law would be incompatible with EU regulations, so if we were to join the EU we'd have to revoke it :lol:

There is no chance of Switzerland joining the EU.

If they did, the immigration laws would be the least of their worries. The changes to the banking system would scare most Swiss off. Switzerland in the EU would be no different from Luxembourg - not a good thought.
 
you're probably right there. while I'm a supporter of joining the EU on the long run, I fear that they're just not ready for us yet :smug:

you of all people, as a citizen of Brünn, and therefore basically Austrian (:mischief:) should know that forcing us into an empire usually wasn't really successful :mischief:
 
there is no benefit to Switzerland joining the EU. They have already cherry - picked the best bits by signing ad-hoc treaties but have also avoided most of the bad bits.

apart from easing some of the minor trade issues, what would Switzerland get for joining the EU?

It appears that only the people in Basel and Geneve want to join because staying out offends their sense of fairness.

We could close the borders. You would have nothing to eat except chocolate. So after a while, you would all be sick, and we could invade

You don't have enough border guards any more. You invade and we close Chirac's (or his successor's) bank accounts. How will he pay his mistresses then? The Swiss could hold off an invasion for longer than a Frenchman can go without his mistress! :D

Don't generalize on your own experience. Frenchmen don't have to pay. They are naturally sex gods and all women are falling for them. It's not my fault if you are so ugly that you hide your face, and have to show money in your breast pocket to have women remark you.

we'd go on a strict cheese diet and become even stronger :ack:

by they way, it would take the EU about 87years to reach an agreement as to how the borders should be closed :mischief:
