You are deviating. How is that what I said? And how is Switzerland not being in the EU relevant when they are part of Schengen?

And while your crime statistics are not in any way relevant to what I initially said, you do notice that the Initiative was mainly targeting the Billaterale contracts which are allowing immigration from Germany, France, Austria, you name it. These are immigrants they were trying to stop comming, not the ones from Nigeria which are a tiny fraction of who actually comes here. Their goal was to get rid of the wage protection system we have for EU workers and return to an older system where forein workers could be paid less and threatened with deportation if they didn’t behave the way their employers want.

Where did you mention that. And don’t tell me it is because our immigration system is somehow strict. I can move around Europe with a high likelyhood that nobody ever checks who I am.

Since this thread is about Switzerland: We have the flankierende Massnahmen alongside Schengen exactly to prevent wage dumping. Companies get audited and we make sure foreign workers do not get paid less then local ones.

Edit: Most people who immigrate to Switzerland for work end up in high-income jobs. The lower-income roles get filled too, but that’s mainly down to labour shortages rather than wage dumping.
