And Mexico’s laws aren’t exactly illegal alien-friendly either. ...to understate the matter.

Draconian?

Doesn’t sound Draconian to me. Sounds like they are enforcing their laws, unlike here.

ITALY: One of the harshest, passed by parliament in 2009, penalizes illegal immigrants with a fine of €5,000-10,000 and allows immigration officials to detain them for up to 6 months.

Back in 1992, I flew into Milan and later Rome on business. Of all the European countries I used to frequent back then as part of my job, Italy was the easily most lax in terms of clearing customs. A couple of times, they didn't even take a glance at my passport. I guess I just looked pretty harmless, eh? :-)

Great post.... I was offered a job in Belgium (yup had to consider it since the H1Bs control all the tech jobs in the US now). I turned it down because I would have to give the Belgium gov't my friggin DNA to even be considered. The list is too numerous to go over on this post...but it was radical...

This is nothing compared to Singapore, which confiscates all their in-country assets (presumably to defray the costs of incarceration, to confiscate ill-gotten gains and to deter future illegals), imprisons and flogs them. A Google search dug up prison terms of 1-1/2 years.

Any Western country that doesn’t act to control the numbers of its Muslim population is committing suicide. ...As for the US, we’ll have to wait until Mexico can enforce its immigration laws here before getting a grip on our borders.

A few years back there was a proposal from an Italian lawmaker to shoot the illegals at sea.

Switzerland's uneasy relationship with its Muslim immigrant population became very public in recent years thanks to the rise of the far-right Swiss People's Party (SVP)

There they go again...anything less than adhering to the Communist Manifest is denigrated as being "far-right." As far as I can tell, the SVP is solidly established in the center of the Swiss populace.

Italy, Australia, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates...

Good summary report.

I would classify Dubai as a Corporation of sorts. Not a country. Particularly compared to actual/real countries in your linked report.

Yes, many in Dubai I hear are classified as “slaves”. Unless one is rich, is a landlord, and can afford to buy, sell or develop property & I’ve heard “humans” too.

Perhaps would be nice to visit in another lifetime, and see how they capitalize on their main asset i.e. Oil money fertilized by the British and the West in general. Certainly wouldn’t live there.

Many Brits, and Iranians (particularly those who are related or benefit from the Mullahs’ regime in Iran own real estate in Dubai and Abu Dahbi in UAE).
