Japan may be overpopulated, but if their population loss continues by deaths exceeding births their demographics are going to be screwed up. It's hard to carry on economically if there aren't enough workers.
Much of the anti-immigration sentiment in the US is racism disguised as "concern for the environment".
Bottom line: ILLEGAL aliens of ANY skin color DON'T have any right to be in ANY country. Switzerland has the RIGHT who they let in or not let in. Sheesh!
Not just conservatives; many of our "liberals" carry and shoot too, not all liberals are gun haters.
Gun ownership vs. increased regulation, like smoking, seems to cross politictial lines.
If the constitution permitted national referendums I suspect a majority would support increased gun regulation and a national ban on smoking, just about everywhere, regardless of partisanship.

the white conservatives want us to stop all non white immigration in the US though, which means they want to turn us into a population pyramid of japan.
japan has a population of 127 now, by 2100 they'll be down to 84 million. they keep moving at that pace japan will be gone in 500 or so years. i always bring that up when white conservatives males talk about immigration.
we're fat we're food insecure we're too many we're not enough.. wow lefties are sure a confused lot
The people voted on this. They told their government "No more" and their government is listening to them.
That's the way to run a government..for the benefit of the people that live there.
Now the rest of the EU has their panties in a wad because..well because it's just "not fair".
while the conservatives and republicans in this country want to export all the work to china.
Please justify your statement. What exactly do conservatives do that shows they want to export all the work to China?
To control or regulate jobs in the US we could:
- regulate the flow of workers into the US
- remove incentives for employers to stash money outside the US (to avoid taxes)
- stop protecting high wages for low skill jobs so the overseas labor cost advantage is diminished
- add tariffs to goods manufactured overseas
- reduce the number of people going to and graduating from college with degrees in fields with poor job prospects
The left hasn't shown they want to do any of these things.

We don't have many votes like that where the people vote directly on issues. It is a different political system.
They signed the Schenchen Argeement, but that does not mandate member countries to allow limitless immigration, but free travel like tourism. The member nations are not required to apply for visas to travel to other member states.
It is becoming a good example to NOT sigh such treaties in the first place.
They signed Schengen AND several other bilateral agreements, which allow limitless immigration from EU member states.
They chose to cancel freedom of movement (part of the Bilateral Agreement I of 1999) and jeopardized all the other bilateral benefits. Technically, this vote had NOTHING to do with Schengen. The EU may cancel the Schengen agreement, though, which is part of the Bilateral Agreement II of 2004, because both agreements are intertwined.
Nobody knows the outcome of all of this, especially none of the typical SVP voters, who initiated all of this.
Funnily enough, most of the regions with low unemployment and a low percentage of foreign employees (the east) voted Yes on the issue. Regions with higher unemployment and a high percentage of immigrants (the west), with the exception of Tessino, voted No. That doesn't really make sense to me and leads me into thinking that most of the Yes voters just have a grudge against the Germans and Italians... Not a good reason to jeopardize the whole economy.

They are upset because they can't spread the cost of supporting deadbeats anymore.
