Switzerland forum < Why is it so hard to make friends in Switzerland??

  • posted by  in Switzerland forum 

    Roger, you mentioned in your post “the long history of immigration and openness” it was true in the past but not anymore!

    Regarding the “secondos” as you mentioned them, I was surprised that some of them are even more extreme in their racism than some local people, especially for those who became Swiss citizens! They will say: “when our parents first arrived to Switzerland they suffered from racism and discrimination and they had to work hard with no say, in the mean time why should-it be easier for new comers, they have to endure what we and our parents endured in the past!!!”.

    Regarding the higher percentage of foreign criminals in the Swiss jails (in this case you have used the same arguments as UDC/SVP), I would like to say that many of them are illegal immigrants, or they just came to Switzerland to commit their crimes... Is this the fault of all the foreign residents? Isn't it the Swiss authorities who have to be blamed insufficient action against the rising crime and insecurity? Many organized crime is caused by drug trafficking, why the authorities aren't taking strong action against this phenomenon? Why is it so easy for illegal immigrants to come and stay in the country? A few weeks ago more than half of the workers on a construction site belonging to “SUVA” were caught by the police, 2 of them where forbidden form entering the Swiss territory!
