Over the past few years, Muslim migrants have been gleefully snatching up welfare checks so they could live off the hard work of Western taxpayers. On January 1, however, migrants learned the hard way that their free rides are over.
Breitbart report that Switzerland just banned citizenship for migrants who have accepted any form of welfare in the last 3 years as well as directing those who have to pay it back.
These new regulations will make it impossible for migrants who have lived off state handouts in the last three years to become citizens even if they have lived in Switzerland as permanent residents for the required time to make a citizenship applications.
The old laws allowed migrants to apply for citizenship as long as they were not on state benefits at the time of their application. The new law will also require migrants to demonstrate a greater level of integration than before including making them prove they have a certain number of Swiss friends and acquaintances.
Though the language requirements vary, most expect an intermediate level of language proficiency judged on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at the B1 or B2 level.
This comes after various Swiss cities have attempted to push back against the tide of migrants by making it less appealing for them to come to the country. At the end of 2017, the city of Zurich voted to dramatically cut benefits to failed asylum seekers who were in so-called “F-status” in which they cannot be deported.
Making matters even worse, many migrants entering Switzerland have also come without any form of identification, making it even more difficult to process their asylum claim or deport those not approved for asylum status.
Late last year, Swiss national councillor Simonetta Sommaruga admitted that the government is unaware of the true identity of nine out of 10 asylum seekers in the country.
Liberals are of course fuming about this and are already calling the new laws “racist,” but we love what Switzerland is doing! SHARE this story if you support their welfare laws!
