Switzerland getting tough on Illegal Immigrant Crime

Swiss Sovereignty any different from Arizona USA?

From Eric Dondero:

Switzerland is taking steps to stop a recent crime wave by illegal immigrants, mostly from Muslim countries.

The liberal-leaning Deutsche Welle reports:

Swiss voters have approved a far-right initiative to automatically expel foreign residents convicted of serious crimes, according to poll results.

Swiss national broadcaster SF1 said 52.9 percent of voters backed the initiative in Sunday's referendum, a plan proposed by the nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP).

A counter-proposal put forth by the Swiss government, which would make expulsion dependent on the length of a prison term rather on an arbitrary list of offenses, appears to have been rejected by most voters...

The offenses mentioned as leading to expulsion include: Murder, Rape, Kidnapping and Human Trafficking (or Slavery).

Libertarian-Conservative blogger Tim Daniel at LeftCoastRebel asks:

Are not a people free to expel foreign people in their own land convicted of crimes?

I imagine that the leftist groups protesting this also think that Arizona's common sense immigration law, SB 1070, was the height of inhumanity too.
