So, 6. February the swiss people are going to decide whether they want to accept the "Intiative gegen Masseneinwanderung"(initiative against mass immigration) or not.
Basically it's swiss rightists whining on how the bad immigrants are destroying their culture and stuff.
So recently they added this detail to the legal text
I'll just quote it:


3 Die jährlichen Höchstzahlen und Kontingente für erwerbstätige Ausländerinnen und Ausländer sind auf die gesamtwirtschaftlichen Interessen der Schweiz unter Berücksichtigung eines Vorranges für Schweizerinnen und Schweizer auszurichten; die Grenzgängerinnen und Grenzgänger sind einzubeziehen. Massgebende Kriterien für die Erteilung von Aufenthaltsbewilligungen sind insbesondere das Gesuch eines Arbeitgebers, die Integrationsfähigkeit und eine ausreichende, eigenständige Existenzgrundlage.

This means basically that the swiss people should have higher priority on the job market than an immigrant or a so called "Secondo" (second generation immigrant). That means that teen immigrants will face massive job problems in the future. The unemployment within the immigrants will rise massively. This could be bypassed by getting the swiss citizenship. Well the thing is, that the SVP (Swiss popular pary, which proposed this initative) also wants to complicate the naturalization process.
So basically they're fucking around with us immigrants.
I wanted to post some images to show you how racist this party is but I can't do this yet since i only posted 13 times. If you want to see some examples just search for "SVP Plakate" on google.

This makes me think of American right wingers and their "they're taking our jobs." bullshit. This is disgusting what's happening, no one should be made to suffer for immigrating.

Yeah, if you go on the supporter's website you'll see that they blame immigrants for the lack of teachers, for pollution and for unemployement lol.

That's disgusting :( I couldn't quite find the website, could you provide a broken link? When I searched SVP Plakate I saw a bunch of Nazi bullshit.

It's sad that the majority of the swiss population actually believes this bullshit

I don't speak the language but I can pick some of it apart :( It's disturbing to me that people can believe such lies.

Let's hope this won't change.

Uh yeah.
But I don't care, it won't change much. I'm much more worried about this shift to the right in swiss politics.

Lol, I like how the author uses "mass migration" like it's a thing. So and so many Swiss support it and so and so don't. I'd at least expect a BBC journalist to realize it's a loaded phrase to begin with like "pro-life".
