The Spin

Switzerland proves immigration works when done right — targeting skilled Europeans who share cultural values. With over 30% foreign-born residents, Switzerland ranks among the world's richest nations while maintaining low crime and high democratic trust. The country attracts hardworking immigrants from Germany, France and Italy who integrate smoothly, learn the language and contribute to economic growth without the social chaos plaguing other nations.

Capping Switzerland's population at 10 million isn't xenophobia — it's survival. Uncontrolled mass immigration strains housing, healthcarehealth care and infrastructure while eroding Swiss identity and quality of life. Germany's 2015 disaster and London losing its native majority prove that infinite growth through cheap labor destroys social cohesion. Smart nations choose quality over quantity and refuse to participate in Brussels' failed experiment.
