Swiss sending home non swiss for certain crimes

Absolutely we should do the same.
For crimes such as Murder, Rape etc I would have them serve a good stretch first and then deport them.
I would also include any indictable crimes, those that are Circuit Court and above. Anybody being jailed for the second time or more should also be included IMO. We have an enormous number of Foreign nationals in our jails, obviously at great expense to us, and many of these are repeat offenders. I don't mind anybody being locked up once (usually for minor crimes/fines) as this can happen to anybody but once they become repeat offenders it's time to wave goodbye to them.
At any given time we currently have between 400 and 600 foreign nationals in our Prisons (and sometimes more) - that's a huge proportion from roughly 4,000 prisoners. Sending these home would reduce overcrowding drastically as well as ensuring that those serving sentences serve a 'fair' proportion of their sentence rather than getting early release.

Call me xenophobic if you like but I'm just being realistic.

They should all get a kick up the Swiss, and be sent very far away, and that includes our own jailbirds.

But they do get some free cheese before they go...

Actually, some people are just deported.

Swiss voters have backed a referendum proposal for the automatic expulsion of non-Swiss citizens for certain crimes.
Around 53% agreed that those convicted of crimes ranging from murder to benefit fraud should be deported.
Fabrice Moscheni, of the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), which drew up the measure, said "people we welcome in Switzerland should respect the rules of this country".
But opponents said it was another example of increasing xenophobia.
The SVP was behind last year's referendum that imposed a ban on the building of Islamic minarets. That decision was condemned by human rights groups and foreign governments.


Should Ireland do the same,The benefit fraud is an intesting one as it seems to be abused here quite easily,

In reality Yes, Ireland could try and do the same but in all honesty Switzerland don't have the IMF , ECB in town not to talk of taking bilateral loans from the UK, Sweden and Denmark..

Technically Switzerland are not bound by a lot of the EU human rights regulations...fairplay to them but I will be thinking of sorting things in-house first and foremost...

Especially if one of them only has to go as far as Offaly, although some may consider that to be worse than the death penalty.

Whats that supposed to mean?

For your information I left the ME of my own free will because i disliked the falseness of the whole place, and the lack of human rights, and i didnt want to raise my daughter in that kind of environment. We tried it and hated it.
We only lived there because of my husbands work, and unfortunately due to the economic situation here, he is still working out there cos he cant get a job back here.

So maybe you shouldnt make snap judgements about people based on one post, and a quick location check.

Swiss Cheese is too holey, and I'm Atheist...

I'd imagine that benefit fraud committed by our own citizens dwarfs that of benefit fraud committed by non-nationals.

Whats that got to do with anything? We have to keep our own criminals, why keep (and pay for)ones we dont have to though?



Wonder will they still hold on to Roman Polanski?

We've been making our own rules for the best part of 90 years, the IMF are here a few days.We've been pandering to rent -a -hippies for years.

I agree, so maybe a European policy, which would also see Irish been sent back?

I wouldnt bother waiting for Europe tbh. Set up our own rule and let others worry about what they want to do. Irish criminals abroad are the problem of the country they are in until they decide what to do with them

Too right. The only people who should be allowed emigrate to another country are those who will benefit the country. Send those who are a liability home straight away, other than asylum seekers.
