Funny...a translated bit from the above interview : "Dazu möchte ich festhalten: Die Initiative trifft nur jene Ausländer mit Aufenthaltsbewilligung in der Schweiz."
"In addition I would like to say: The Initiative applies only those foreigners with residence permits in Switzerland."
Do criminals really get into the hassles of first getting a residence permit and then committing the crimes ?
So, once again, who is this targeted at ?

About " Do criminals really get into the hassles of first getting a residence permit and then committing the crimes ?"
Well according to the Bundesamt für Statistik about 50% of the foreigners convicted of serious crimes do not have a residence permit. So the answer to your question is "some do, some don't"

I think you'll find the SVP is directly opposed to those principles.

| | Re: What if? Consequences of expulsion initiative being accepted? | Quote: | |  | | | Mowvich, how do you come to such conclusion about what the Swiss are thinking? Just about everybody has reached the conclusion it will not be automatic deportation. | | | | | One big difference between the SVP proposal & the existing legislation is the " automatic deportation after conviction (following the prison term)". This is what 53% voted for.
So who cares that "Just about everybody has reached the conclusion it will not be .....".
The vote is the vote is the vote.

Really we're looking at the requirements and consequences of populist nationalism and conservatism.

Please note that Switzerland is actually free to violate "Völkerrecht" (e.g. by separating families), just not "zwingendes Völkerrecht" (e.g. by sending someone to a country where he must expect torture).

I think you'll find the SVP is directly opposed to those principles. | | | | | On the other hand, they're in favor of punishing / deporting whole families if one member committed a crime (Sippenhaft / clan liability), they're strongly promoting indiscriminate action against unwanted / foreign individuals without taking into account personal circumstances (= unconstitutional), they are actively demoting women's rights and demanding that women stay at home and raise children, they're promoting the idea of a two-class regiment for citizenship (naturalized "Swiss" vs. Eidgenossen / real Swiss, akin to Ariers vs. Germans), they're trying to change the whole government system by introducing directly elected federal councils so that they can extend their fear-mongering campaign to the individuals seeking elections etc. etc.
all ideas first heard of in national socialism. Agreed, they don't support the "social" part - they're more like the Neo Nazis in Germany.

Foreigners are already treated differently in every country in the world based on the fact that they are not citizens. Yeah, I know, global citizens unite.

I'm Swiss myself and I'm ashamed to live here. | | | | | It's not about you or any other Swiss, you actually have to be proud being a citizen of this country, it's all about the SVP spreading lies and trying to turn Switzerland into a Neo Nazi state by using their dirty methods of propaganda accompanied by false facts to drive simple and basic Swiss citizens to vote for them for their own (SVP) benefits.
I have so many Swiss friends from everywhere across the country, not me only who thinks like this, they too feel so bad about Switzerland falling into this evil trap of SVP.
I've been here 5 years and i really love this country (regardless of the regular moaning from time to time), and i could see it changing every year, that's why i'm totally against SVP and their evil plans, i feel they are building psychological and mental barriers between the population
