Prost!

Apparently the Swiss are nutting up over immigration. Specifically, they are tired of foreign criminals filling up thier jails.

When the Swiss are having violent protests over immigration, you know there is a real problem. This is a country that values it's citizenship above all, it typically takes 12 years of residence before even being considered for citizenship, and it's not guaranteed.

The big issus here is this poster put out by the right wing SVP: it shows 3 sheep on a Swiss flag.....kicking that black sheep off.

How do you think that would fly here? Al Sharpton would be in hog heaven.

But here's my favorite quote:

Foreigners, who make up one-fourth of the Swiss work force, complain that it is harder to get a job or rent an apartment without a Swiss passport, and that they endure harassment that Swiss citizens do not.

James Philippe, a 28-year-old Haitian who has lived in Switzerland for 14 years and works for Streetchurch, a Protestant storefront community organization, and as a hip-hop instructor, said he is regularly stopped by the police and required to show his papers and submit to body searches. He speaks German, French, Creole and English, but has yet to receive a Swiss passport.

"The police treat me like I'm somehow not human," he said.



How much you wanna bet this 'instructor' has his pants below his crack, a full grill and dreads? Hell, if you walk around like that in Georgia your begging for a cavity search. YOUR IN SWITZERLAND! Geeez!!!!
