Switzerland's Immigration Challenges

Lessons for America:

"In November 2010, Swiss voters approved tough new regulations on the deportation of non-Swiss immigrants convicted of serious crimes. The measure calls for the automatic expulsion of non-Swiss offenders convicted of crimes ranging from murder to breaking and entry and social security fraud."

The "immigrant must assimilate" debate is also quite alive here in Quebec. It's complicated. Valid arguments that may be presented, it can easily cross over into xenophobia.
