Hey JPL, could you give us an assessment why the Swiss are so in arms about their immigration laws (or are the current pre-election demonstrations about something else)?

The ad campaign of the #1 political party in Switzerland.

I wonder if throwing petrol bombs and overturning cars will open the hearts and minds of white Swiss voters. :roll:

I remember there was quite a row in Switzerland over that campaign ad a couple of months, it even made news in Holland. The ad indeed strikes me as overtly racist; it would probably have caused a row in any country. (though maybe not in zimbabwe, if you swapped the colors) Anyway, bad on them.

Immigration is an entirely economic affair, if Switzerland's (CH) economy is on the downturn you have to expect it. If you'd like me to elaborate I'd love to repost my short write up about immigration. The people who used to live in my house were white doctors from Zimbabwe who were driven from their home.
