Switzerland: welfare moochs must pay back welfare to get citizenship Login/Join

I guess Switzerland is getting stricter with their path to citizenship!

Article came out last week.


quote:

Switzerland bans citizenship to anyone who has lived on welfare in the country in the previous three years unless they pay back the money they received

Switzerland has banned citizenship to anyone who has lived on welfare in the country in the previous three years unless they pay back the money they received.

An earlier law made it possible for migrants to apply for citizenship provided they were not on state handouts when they made their application.

But the rules have since been tightened as part of a new civil rights act which came into effect on January 1.

Switzerland has banned citizenship to anyone who has lived on welfare in the country in the previous three years unless they pay back the money they received.

The new legislation also requires applicants to prove a greater level of integration if their bid is to be successful, according to Kronen Zeitung.

As part of the new criteria they must show they have 'cultivated contacts' with a number of Swiss people.

There are also new language requirements, which vary depending on the canton they are living in.

Although not part of the European Union the Swiss Government has pledged to play its part in resettling families fleeing Syria.

In 2016, they announced they would take 3,000 asylum seekers from the war-torn country.

It was reported at the time that the country also aimed to settle up to 50,000 asylum seekers who had managed to make their way across the border and into Switzerland, mostly by crossing from with Italy following a perilous journey.

The Swiss seem to do a great many things very well.

It is a civil engineer’s paradise. They have everything there but flat ground, and ocean access.

They have done a marvelous job minding their own business for centuries.

I believe the term Swiss” is derived from an old Holy Roman Empire term that meant “small, but expensive.”

I’ve not travelled as extensively as some, but if I were to move, that is where I would want to go, except I can't handle altitude anymore, I guess.



Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Well then they become citizens then go back on welfare?

I like the idea of paying back. Should happen here with a time limit on how long one stays on welfare.

I recall seeing an article on BBC a couple of years back where a bunch of dish-dash clad mooslems stomped all over burning Swiss flag, at the same time demanding that the Swiss change the flag to something less offensive to their sensibilities. It seems that the sight of a white cross on a red background had all their panties wedged up.

We can imagine how popular that was in Switzerland, as nothing more seems to have been heard about them since that one time. Anybody here from the Confederation know any more about it?

Fine, let the Swiss give them what they want: invert the color scheme.
