A major Swiss political party has launched an anti-immigrant campaign that worries U.N. anti-racism officials. The party, which holds the largest number of seats in the Swiss Parliament, is pushing a number of controversial proposals, including a law that would expel an entire immigrant family if a child under 18 commits a crime. Ulrich Schluer, one of the party's leaders, wants to ban the building of minarets attached to Muslim mosques.

yes, 'go jump' for sure. Not racism when you add 'fascist' to describe the rest of the Islamic idiology so many are ascribing to. Or just totalitarian. . .

The warning signs are ominous. Too late smart for those who prefer 'western civilization' is just that.

That is their right as a sovereign nation.

Looks like Switzerland is another country that’s not allowed to have borders.

>>About 25 percent of the Swiss workforce consists of immigrants, although they are for the most part guest workers who cannot gain citizenship for themselves or their children.<<

Better safe than sorry, especially when it comes to Mo’s. I also like the Swiss approach to its armed forces.

Another example of the proponets of a politically correct (liberal worldview) in their attemp to demonize those whom oppose their agenda (the anti-immigration, and anti-terrorist forces, more appropriately). Can’t let the UN demonize those in the Swiss Leg with sensible policy.

Lets turn it around and ask if teh UN supports the Islamic call to kill swiss (Christian and non-religious European) Women and Children!

Then the campaign must have merit

Amazing how much backbone a country can have when every adult male is required to have an automatic weapon in his home and be trained in its use...

Europe is fuming because the Swiss won't join their mutual suicide pact.

What would have happened if a few of the Jonestown crowd had refused to drink the poisoned Koolade?

Note tagline. History is not just cruel and witty, but it keeps doing reruns.

I’d like to see a new organization, made up of democratic countries,take the place of the UN.

That’s a great idea. I think we should do the same thing here. If an immigrant child under 18 commits a crime, the child and the family are immediately deported and banned from ever returning.

It makes a parent take a keener interest in the affairs of their children. Hopefully, this is the right way. In a perfect world family will be closer together and more integrated. However, there has to be a point where a nation says,”enough!” and starts to protect their natural citizens.
