Swiss pass measure to expel foreigners convicted of crimes.

[Down1]

Switzerland voted in a referendum Sunday to automatically expel foreigners convicted of crimes ranging from murder to false claims for unemployment insurance.

The measure, which was approved by 53 percent of those voting, highlighted a growing unease with the number of immigrants in Western Europe who arrive from poor countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East to take advantage of the continent's peace, prosperity and generous social protections.

Good. I wish more countries took a more nationalistic-sober stance to "foreigner crime".

Hold out no hope for the swiss. Ready Ferdinand Lips' book Gold Wars for more information on how Swiss bankers and politicians have sold them up the river to the imf.
