Haven't got time this morning to comment on the story just released by Associated Press, but regular readers won't need me to say how much I wish the USA, Britain and Canada would enact similar measures. Here's the story...
Swiss voters have approved a plan to automatically deport foreigners found guilty of committing serious crimes or benefit fraud.
Swiss national broadcaster SF1 says 52.9 per cent of voters backed the proposal put forward by the nationalist Swiss People's Party, or SVP.
SF1 reports that 47.1 per cent voted against the plan.
The deportation proposal drew fire ahead of Sunday vote from legal experts who said it could breach offenders' human rights.
Anti-racism groups also bemoaned that the SVP's posters showing white sheep kicking black sheep off a Swiss flag played on stereotypical images of foreigners as criminals.
Come to think of it, I do have a quick comment: Why does the last paragraph not surprise me? Everyone must know that to suggest that non-white foreigners are responsible for much of the crime in our society is clearly racist!
