I think you're being too harsh.
You have to remember that some countries don't have M&S or Tesco so how can one fully integrate?

Fine - that's a criticism. What is the solution? What successful economies have undergone a constant depopulation?

I don't think you can compare 1930's Germany to 21st Century Switzerland.

Maybe a more accurate translation is:
'immigration is good for the bottom line'

It is uncomfortable, of course. And of course one can make the comparison. The parallels are terrifying.

Re: Swiss voters 'back expulsion of foreign criminals'
OMG I get so tired of that. We are talking about the far-right in central Europe exploiting the GFC to get rid of immigrants, and this obviously has direct and highly relevant parallels to the last time a far-right group in central Europe exploited a financial collapse to seize power and get rid of immigrants.
It is uncomfortable, of course. And of course one can make the comparison. The parallels are terrifying.

Of course you can. Not wanting to is another thing, but it is possible. And not just Switzerland either. Look at early late 20s/early 30s politics in Europe and there is no way to ignore the parallels. Remember, no one in 1931 ever said "I'm not voting for Hitler is going to be mental in ten years." When he was blaming immigrants for Germany's financial and social problems people really thought he was the solution.

Anybody who reads your posts can clearly see you are a racist.
Just cannot believe you are allowed to post your racist views on this forum.
