Swizerland goes on to introduce Draconian laws

[Safriz]

In a recent referendum the right wing right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) succeeded yet again in alienating foreigners living is Switzerland..With 53% majority the Public voted to expel any Non Swiss if they commit a crime.The law may also applies on people who were born in Switzerland and lived there all their lives but don't hold Swiss passports.
All over Europe people argue about the negative impact of Immigrants and how they are stealing money from Europe by "Working" there,but the fact that most of the corporate giants from EU earn much of their money from Non EU countries and that people of Third world from where most migrants come,buy their products loyally,and prefer them over their domestic products.The total amount of money via Large swiz companies like Nestle,Lever brothers to Switzerland is far more then the total money made by all the migrants living there.
While swiz public have made their point,countries who can expect wave after wave of Deportees from Switzerland may well prepare..Prepare by lowering the business share of Swiz companies in their country..That way they will save local businesses who are over shadowed by foreign giants and simply cant compete.In addition to that when Switzerland expels their nationals,they can come back to their country and can find a business opportunity created by the gap formed by an expelled or restricted swiz company.
This way a balance will be created,as transfer of wealth to the country of deportee will stop with their deportation from Switzerland,likewise business restrictions for swiz companies will stop that country's wealth being transferred to Switzerland and create a much needed business opportunity for the deportees...

A little too harsh law..

Draconian law ?? Huh ---- every country has a right to introduce any law it deems fit if the people so desire.

How would you feel if the Swiss commented on your Blasphemy Laws ?

 

[Awesome]

They should define the degree of a crime. You shouldn't be deported for a speeding ticket.

You're talking of Unilever? Its not Swiss afaik. I think its Anglo-Dutch. Lafarge, the world's largest cement company could be another example though.

Regarding the law, its unfortunate but as somebody pointed out the degree of the crime should be a factor in deciding the extent of the punishment.

Its the felony that counts - misdemeanors dont!

USA already have them..

If the immigrants behaved themselves, there wouldn't be a necessity for such laws. I support their laws banning or restricting things that alter the culture , landscape and social fabric of a country.
Be Indians in New Jersey, Chinese in Milan or muslims in Switzerland, they should try to fit in and blend into the society than changing the society to fit them.

 

[Nothing]

Anti(?) immigrant patterns are increasingly getting famous in European countries.
Weak economy is like petrol in flames.
In a way they are not wrong. It is their country they have all rights to form new laws according to their need. Why to keep immigrant who broke rules in jail on tax payers money better kick him out ....still with this laws they are one of the best destination for migrant workers where they are getting more rights then their home country with all basic facilities like education and healthcare.

Even today legal emigrant workers prefer to work in European country than his/her home country .. rather than criticizing EU or any other country we should debate on how we can improve work condition and living standard in our respective countries

some immigrant criminals are giving a bad name to all of us, good to deport the criminals-they are not needed nowhere. but as AA said, i dont think they will kick somebody out if they commit minor crimes including low level driving offences. they will proabably appy it on drug dealing, murder etc.

Do you guys really have to comment immediately after the thread started?
Did the news mentioned India or Indian laws?
Why drag Pakistan?

They should define the degree of a crime. You shouldn't be deported for a speeding ticket.

Welcome to the polarized world.... its just not official other wise it is already a crime to have Islamic name.

people from once specific nationality are spitting poison against Muslims and Pakistan where ever they go.
If you see some nation charging up against Muslims just assume that one particular nation had been active in that particular land.

Remember the survivor baby girl which disclosed the terrorists shouting 'In ki nasal ko khatam kardo'
it is same philosophy the master minds of terrorism in Pakistan are spreading openly in UK, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

What a logic... if immigrant commit a crime its giving bad name if blond hair is committing crime its not giving bad name!

Boy the laws are being made to target Muslims... and the back ground of hate is propaganda build up against Muslims in last 4-5 years.

Don't worry, you Indians will earn a lot out of these new laws...

1. I dont think Ahmad is an Indian
2. Are all immigrants in Switzerland, Muslims?

Height of misplaced self importance

Why do you think it is a law against muslims? No law will affect a person leading a dignified life and adapts to the society. All those who live off the government's grants but hates the government and the country should be sent back.

Guys, it will take approximately at least 3 to 4 years before this can be made into a law if at all.. that's the process. Then also after it becomes the law there is European court of Jucstice & Human rights etc...etc.. where one can appeal.
BTW prior to this law there was a case very recently where a repeat offender (serious crimes)in the Canton of Zurich was basically barred from Switzerland after living here for most of his life and he has a family ( guy from ex-Yugoslavia) that's .....pending appeal probably will end up in European Court of Justice/Human rights and don't know what's going to happen.Read this in the daily tabloid some months ago.

This anti migrants trend, who have been here for a long time is going on in almost all western European countries for a while now.The decision in Switzerland was 52% for and 48% against so wasn't a land slide for the SVP or the Swiss Peoples party who started this initiative and its not over yet.. SVP is known for similar stunts the last initiative was against minarets..

Also this law isn't for speeding tickets but for people who are repeat offenders and who commit serious crime....now defining the serious crime I guess will be an issue or probably has been defined already as to be honest i really don't pay much attention to what these SVP guys are normally up to and I really don't care either.

PS: This law is not against Muslims its basically against any foreigner who commits a serious crime or is a repeat offender of serious crimes.

Whats draconian about it, if all you manage to contribute to a new country is rape murder and theft they should have the right to tell you to bugger off.

We have the same sort of laws in New Zealand and have had for years, you agree to abide by our laws when you come here, if you cant bye bye dont let the door hit you on the way out.
