Far-right Swiss party divides nation on immigrant issue - Print Version - International Herald Tribune

lol sounds like they are pretty serious about it.

Interesting.

Here in the U.S., we haven't quite moved to illustrations put out into the mail (yet), but I find it interesting that such a group is in such great numbers over there. So there, the immigration issue seems to be around those from Kosovo and Rwanda. The main argument on this seems to be that many in their prisons are foreign and a good slice of them are involved in drug problems. There are also seems to be some anti-Muslim immigration sentiment as well.

In order to gain a more rounded opinion, I'd have to see some statistics over the actual crime rates and numbers of those who are actually immigrants. Interesting thread, though.

No you are definetly not alone ............According to UK Government projections, immigration will result in an increase in the population of the UK of 6 million in the 27 years from 2004 .

MWUK - Outline of the Problem

The US doesn't have an immigration problem. We have an illegal alien problem. It sounds as if the immigrants in Switzerland at least have papers, but maybe the Swiss reporters are as bad as the US in that they don't distinguish between immigrants and illegal persons.

But apparently it is in it's spelling disability............

That's all I wanted to say
