The Swiss know how to stand up for themselves. In a referendum in November, they voted in favour of the automatic deportation of foreigners who commit serious crimes. Needless to say, the latte liberals at Amnesty International are appalled and – revealing their utter contempt for democracy – are calling on Swiss politicians to ignore the will of the people.
Amnesty’s reasoning is that deportations could cause convicts to be sent back to countries where they could face persecution. But this is a ridiculous argument: no one is forcing visitors to Switzerland to commit offences. If people don’t want to be sent back home, why don’t they just desist from rape, robbery, murder and fraud?
The new Swiss policy is so obviously a sensible idea that the UK ought to copy it. Having very high levels of immigration, and having allied with America in the fight against terrorism, the UK has an even bigger problem with foreign criminals.
I commend the idea to the people of the UK.
