Some Swiss towns plan to keep asylum-seekers away from public places such as swimming pools, playing fields and libraries, in a move human rights groups say is racist.

The curbs are aimed at preventing tensions with residents, officials say.

Seems like a good idea to me if it's causing tension with the locals. If I ever find myself in the unfortunate position of seeking asylum in another country then I'd be extremely grateful to my hosts as they processed my application. I would accept that essentially as a beggar, I wouldn't be expecting full access to the range of public services on offer to nationals of that country. When I think about what Syrian refugees are having to put up with in camps in Turkey and Jordan, it's just awful - there's no question that any of these are "bogus asylum seekers".

Personally I think it's time for the current international guidelines on refugees and asylum seekers to be revisited to cope with the realities of the 21st century.
 
I'd imagine it's because most immigrants are bloody noisy when they talk especially on mobile phones when you can hear them from a mile away

Roman Staub, mayor of the town of Menzingen, said asylum-seekers should be banned from "sensitive areas" such as the vicinity of a school. "This is certainly a very difficult area, because here asylum-seekers could meet our schoolchildren - young girls or young boys," he said.

Which is what, 'no asylum seekers' cards in doorways and windows?

Bravo.

Unbelievable. The idea of human borders is laughable. Hopefully it won't exist in another hundred years.

I like the way it is at the moment, choice is good. But too much choice will mean that there will be more people dripping their scones in their cup of tea. ( I witnessed this once, I was horrified).
 
I can understand the mayor's point, it's how I felt about Northerners while living in London - you can tolerate them being around but it's just not fair on the children.

probably what all the americans think about you ;)
 
"In June voters overwhelmingly backed a controversial move to tighten asylum restrictions, amid a spike in the number of refugees in the country."

Switzerland's 'Direct Democracy' in action, if it's what the people want....
 
I don't see anything wrong with trying to discourage randoms coming into the country. I watched a documentary on Vice about asylum seekers coming into Greece and the problem is out of control.

All these people from North Africa are coming over the Med and into Greece, there is nowhere for them to go (they expect to be given housing for some reason) so they end up living on the streets, get treated badly by the police and locals. Some of them actually want to go back over to where they were before but amazingly, EU law prevents them from doing this, and if they go to another EU country and are caught, they get send back to Greece again, because that is now considered their home country. It's madness.
