switzerland is a very small country. we have more illegals here than they do citizens. hardly a comparison.
You'd be amazed how many illegals are there, especially now with all the people who came in from Greece or France as port of entry and then disbursed freely thanks to the Schengen agreement. My neighbor was an illegal and I didn't even know it. Its become a running joke with my wife and I. We were woken up at 5am by a " *BANG BANG BANG* Polizei!" She was hauled away and never heard from again.
The problem with illegal immigrant stats is that they are hard to nail down, nonetheless, their system is very much pro-active and they tend to ensure they know who is in their country and who isn't.

Also, I imgin they have a lot of other countries wealthy peoples cash sitting in thier banks to be used.
Not sure what relevance that has...
@Alkaia Said
also, I bet they dont have gangs.
Because of their social and crime prevention and education programs. Those are key aspects to social mobility and protection of civil society.
@Alkaia Said
and they dont like blacks
Correction, they don't like ignorance. They are VERY pragmatic folk, being a mix of Italian, German and French. The Swiss folks I met get very short tempered with ANYONE who acts foolishly, and usually the people who behaved this way were white (Irishmen). All the other nationalities, be they Kuwaiti, or Saudi, Nigerian, or Kenyan, German, or Dutch, Spanish or Argentinian, all were treated very respectfully. Hell, they were even respectful to this silly American
@Alkaia Said
so while they may be a teeny little light in the darkness.
They are shining example of a society which knows how to deal with the cause of a disease and not just treat the symptom
@Alkaia Said
theve never had to deal with the likes of things as big and interwoven as america
You should read about Switzerland's history... All those silly religious wars, plus a silly little guy came through there some years back and declare war and conquered them... some guy named Napoleon. Then they had a problem with that crazy German dude Adolf and even Adolf's enemies didn't like them.
You know, America isn't the only country that's had a hard history. America is just the biggest country that b****es about its problem and cries "woe is me" instead of actually fixing it
@Alkaia Said
does look like a cool place to live though.
Winter in Zurich... breath-taking. Fall/Autumn... amazing. My wife wants to go back and live there permanently.
