Switzerland: 80.5% of North African asylum seekers have been accused of one or more crimes

Switzerland: 80.5% of North African asylum seekers have been accused of one or more crimes

Around 80.5 percent of asylum seekers from North African countries were accused of one or more offenses in Switzerland, underlining the massive amount of criminality present in this foreign population. The data comes from the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM).

For asylum seekers as a whole, the rate of criminality is much lower, with only 12.5 percent having been accused of one or more offenses. Nationals from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are therefore extremely overrepresented compared to other asylum seeker groups.

Switzerland’s radical proposal on immigration: Cap the population

Switzerland’s radical proposal on immigration: Cap the population

ZUG, Switzerland—This Alpine nation has long relied on its geography to keep the world at bay. But with its valleys filling up, some here are pushing to replace natural barriers with something even more unyielding: a population cap.

Disgruntled by rising living costs and disillusioned by unfulfilled economic and social promises, the Swiss are at the vanguard of industrialized countries questioning the benefits of immigration, even the high-skilled workers many vie to attract. On Sunday, they will vote in a referendum to put a hard ceiling on the country’s population.

Since 2000, the number of foreign-born residents has jumped from around one in five to one in three—the second-highest level among rich countries next to tiny Luxembourg, and compared with one in six in the U.S. That represents an enormous demographic shift for a small, mountainous country.

Riots erupt in Swiss city after migrant teen is killed in scooter crash while fleeing police

Dramatic riots have erupted in a Swiss city after a migrant teen was killed in a scooter crash while fleeing the police.

Swiss Supreme Court Says Parents Must Facilitate Daughter’s Gender Transition

“We are heartbroken,” the father said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “We love our daughter and only want what’s best for her. We know this decision is not in her best interest.”

“That we could face criminal charges for simply trying to care for our daughter shows how deeply embedded transgender ideology is in Swiss institutions and the real harms it causes,” he added. “We are considering our next steps.”

Switzerland: Voters Approve ‘Burqa Ban’

Swiss voters have narrowly approved a proposal to ban face coverings in public spaces. The measure comes just over a decade after citizens voted to ban the construction of minarets, the tower-like structures on mosques that are often used to call Muslims to prayer.

The referenda reflect the determination of a majority of Swiss voters to preserve Swiss traditions and values in the face of runaway multiculturalism and the encroachment of political Islam.

Switzerland now joins Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Sweden, all of which currently have full or partial bans on religious and non-religious face coverings.
