Does This Look Familiar?

One difference is that they're dealing with thousands, while we're dealing with tens-of-millions! Another obvious difference is that the Israelis, unlike us, have the brains and the backbone to deal with the problem before it gets out of control. Apparently, they, again unlike us, are not willing to sacrifice their society, their way of life, and their country, simply to give a possible political advantage to one party in the form of votes...

GENEVA Nov. 28th, 2010:

-- Swiss voters go to the polls Sunday to decide whether foreigners who commit serious crimes in their country should be automatically deported.

The proposal put forward by the nationalist Swiss People's Party, or SVP, has drawn fire from legal experts who say it could breach offenders' human rights.

Anti-racism groups have also complained because posters used to promote the deportation campaign show black sheep being kicked off the Swiss flag by white sheep.

Opinion polls published earlier this month indicate a slim majority of voters favor the SVP's plan over a government-backed alternative proposal that allows for case-by-case review.

Separately, voters will be asked to approve a plan to introduce a minimum tax for individuals across all of Switzerland's 26 cantons.

They have no problem protecting that.


The Swiss seem to be onto something too.

I think you miss that point completely.

Isn't that how the U. S. started?
