Switzerland is not part of the EU, yet benefits from all the open economic/trade agreements. Switzerland has never been part of the EU, but there it sits, right in the middle of it.

The difference between the legal agreements between Switzerland and the other countries in the EU, are thpousands of "devil is in the details" details. But at bottom, Switzerland doesn;t contribute to the EU welfare and immigration schemes. It has open borders for travel, but not for residence.

I like that phrase, Open borders for travel but not for residence. They can come in to spend their money but we ship them out when they overextend their visa. That’s what Russia does.

Is the US like Switzerland? Listening to the reasons given by supporters for Brexiting the EU, there is a large similarity between what is being done by the EU and what is being done by the OBAMA administration. The importing of millions of unvetted migrants with no consent from the citizens who will and are being taxed to pay for the multitudes added to our welfare rolls. Seems to be a quota involved since both Obama and Hillary are giving exact numbers as to how many more they are and will be bringing into the US in the immediate future. At the same time the US govt is pushing and implementing forced housing in areas where it is not welcome because of the impact on the local economy. We know that the uniparty, democrat and RINOS, and their wealthy backers are committed to a one world govt which entails open boarders and no boarders. At the same time that the US is piling on debt for importing these new migrants, the congress is pushing to decrease Social Security benefits for one of the few programs that is paid into by the beneficiaries.. Same with Medicare. US citizens are being forced to pay for whatever the elites running this world wide usurpation of nations want to implement. Donald Trump either wins this election or the One Worlders, no boarders, supporters will finally have it all. GO TRUMP.
