See the connection?
This will all change——and in the not too distant future.

Obtaining Swiss citizenship is no small feat and is stricter still. Among other things, it requires years of effort and the overwhelming support of the community in which you reside.
There is none of this automatic citizenship as a birthright because your Mama happened to sneak in illegally and drop you here.
Because they control their borders and don’t tolerate crime.
Also, they voted to block new houses of indoctrination and jihadi-terror training.
“as countries go, it’s hard to find one better”
There is no better country than the USA
Neutrality during armed conflicts helps, too.
Check the demographics. It’s not easy to emigrate to Switzerland.
If Switzerland didn’t exist the world would have created it. It performs a necessary function in a global society convulsed by every imaginable dereliction of conscience possible.
Perhaps I missed it, but betcha there are few Muslims there.
They protect their borders and spend next to nothing on defense.And they’re surrounded by civilized,peaceful (and *prosperous*) nations.
Does the article point out that Switzerland manages this by acting as the money launderer for every tyrant, crook, drug smuggler and gangster of the world?
And that, while they assist the dictators and despots of the world in every way possible, they walk around declaring the moral superiority of thier “neutrality”?
“Neutrality in the face of evil, IS Evil” [My dad.]
and a central government that can’t do a lot without the Cantons agreeing to it
RE: Perhaps I missed it, but betcha there are few Muslims there.
According to 2012 estimates conducted by government of Switzerland, Muslims represent 4.9% of the total population.
In 2007 the Bern city council rejected plans to build one of the largest Islamic cultural centers in Europe.
88.3% of Muslims in Switzerland are foreigners (56.4% from former Yugoslavia (mostly Bosniaks, and Albanians from Kosovo), 20.2% from Turkey and 6% from Africa (3.4% from North Africa). Very few from the Middle East.
It's my understanding (and I'm willing to be proven wrong on this) that Switzerland didn't cover herself in glory during WWII due to her cooperation with the Nazis.Of course I understand that to whatever degree she *did* cooperate with Hitler that cooperation might not have been entirely voluntary.
That’s Sweden not Switzerland but IIRC Switzerland has also embraced the insanity of mass non-white immigration.
RE: Check the demographics. Its not easy to emigrate to Switzerland.
TRUE. They are very SELECTIVE when it comes to who can be a permanent resident, and even MORE SELECTIVE as to who can become a SWISS citizen.
I remember in the late 1980’s...we’re driving towards Interlaaken...all of a sudden, traffic ( two lane road) comes to a dead stop..we see police cars and flashing lights up ahead..I get out to look..we’re next to this big meadow..we can see sheep herded up against the road..all of a sudden, the entireside of this huge cliff opens up..and two fighters roll out and take off...I think they were Hawker Hunters..unreal..
“Thats Sweden not Switzerland “
