Might be a good idea here too, except aliens seem to have more rights than citizens these days.

Why hasn’t an American judge declared this unconstitutional?

And the EU can’t stop it because Switzerland is not a member.

“Along with the welfare stipulation, the new act requires migrants to demonstrate a greater level of integration than before including making them prove they have a certain number of Swiss friends and acquaintances.”

I kind of like this one too but someone must tell the applicant that someone they raped is not an acquaintance under the new rules.

If this were enacted here, the socialist democratic party would dry up and die.

Switzerland has the right idea, this will no doubt keep out many African and Middle Eastern immigrants, albeit indirectly.

Here in the US, if it were up to me the DACA "Dreamer" anchor babies would be deported along with their parents, but since the President is willing to let them stay as a compromise, the very least they could do is put in a condition making the ineligible for any kind of state or federal welfare assistance.

Taking money from infidels is just a tax. It's Koranstitutional.

When has hatred for whitey ever stopped US blacks and other "minorities" from accepting welfare checks and food stamps that were mostly paid for by white taxpayers?

Think of the billions of dollars we could save U.S. taxpayers if Uncle Sap would be as smart as the Swiss.

Not too many years ago some states had a restriction on voting. If a citizen lived off the welfare of the municipality, the citizen could not vote.

Maybe I’m just being dense but...why? The article doesn’t say the ‘asylum seekers’ can no longer be on welfare, just that they can’t become citizens. Most are not that interested in citizenship anyway. So they stay on welfare and are not citizens. Big whoop.

Do we dare hope this small ember of sanity is just the begining of a real change there...or will it be snuffed out?
