  1. I’m sure the comments for this article will be very reasoned and intelligent, and we will all be proud several hours from now to see there were absolutely no stereotypes or fallacious arguments, and this thread is totally free from ISIS and/or Hitler references or allusions.

  2. I did not realize that 8.8% of this group was on welfare. Having seen how tough it was to claim welfare for a family member in a legit case, and only for a couple of years over a 40 years career, I wonder how they do.

  3. Good move, this is meant to scary illegals away from Switzerland. Mostly Africans and Arabs. But hey, Germany is just across the fence, so welcome refugees.

  4. The one question would be how would they assess whether the integration of family members is successful – employment is a separate factor, so is it simply helping them to learn French and/or German?
