Openness to immigration was long the defining superpower of the US. Japan&#8217;s strict immigration policy explains its dismal growth performance, and the fact that its average effective retirement age for men stands at 69.5 years.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Switzerland&#8217;s remarkable ascent from peasant backwater to high-tech economy in 200 years tells the same tale.

The labor market is experiencing a slowdown. Despite the rising joblessness, severe skilled labor shortages persist.\u00a0 In other words, migrants are not filling the job roles most needed within the German economy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>France&#8217;s unemployment rate climbed to 8.1% in the first quarter of 2026, reaching its highest level in five years and surpassing mainstream expectations. The increase brings the total number of unemployed job seekers to approximately 2.6 million.\u00a0 The French government has been flooding the country with migrants for over a decade and the system is drowning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spain has recently instituted an amnesty program for hundred of thousands of third worlders, which has triggered another migration rush.\u00a0 It&#8217;s important to understand that migrants from developing nations view the west as a target to be fleeced, not as a new home.\u00a0 Many migrants continue to maintain residency in their home countries while they siphon welfare benefits from Europeans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spain has the second-highest unemployment rate in the EU at 10.8% and a 23% unemployment rate for young workers 25 years old and under.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All of these countries are also facing a disastrous housing crisis.\u00a0 Mass immigration is destroying the rental and home owner markets.\u00a0 Germany has seen a 15% rise in rental costs, France is at 20% and Spain is at 25%. Rental availability is tight across the board with around 2% vacancy in medium to large population centers.\u00a0 \u00a0Home prices in all three countries have skyrocketed by 15% to 40% depending on the region.\u00a0 Structural shortages continue to plague home buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland has seen these numbers and they have seen the rising tide of third worlders trying to gain entry.\u00a0 It makes perfect sense for them to cap immigration.\u00a0 The Guardian Op Ed is revealing in the way it exposes the globalist ideology &#8211; Their argument is, essentially, that foreigners are entitled to access western economies as a kind of &#8220;civil right&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;&#8230;Beneath the economics lies something even more troubling. What makes the Dubai model so appealing to the radical right is that abandoning EU treaties would not only allow the SVP to cut immigration but also to strip foreigners of their rights entirely. For instance, they have proposed barring German and French workers from bringing their families. Switzerland would join the league of autocratic states that deny foreigners what conservatives claim to hold most dear: a life rooted in family.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It might sound like empathetic advocacy, but it is actually insanity.\u00a0 If it is &#8220;autocratic&#8221; for a nation to limit foreign access, then so be it.\u00a0 Foreigners (whether from the West or the Third World) are not entitled to the fruits of the Swiss economy.\u00a0 The idea that limitations are &#8220;unjust&#8221; or despotic is a product of leftist tripe and globalist disinformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whether the vote on the population cap succeeds or fails, the Swiss have a renowned reputation as purveyors of order and common sense.\u00a0 It would be a shame for them to abandon it simply to avoid meaningless accusations of &#8220;xenophobia&#8221; or &#8220;autocracy&#8221;.\u00a0 Frankly, their economy will remain far better off than the rest of Europe by applying a measure of logical discrimination.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" lang=\"\" class=\"username\" xml:lang=\"\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Sun, 06\/14\/2026 &#8211; 09:55<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/2026-06-14_09-08-05.png?itok=jVzCqyf-\" title=\"Early Projections: 52% Of Swiss Vote Against Immigratiion\/Population Cap\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early Projections: 52% Of Swiss Vote Against Immigratiion\/Population Cap Summary: The initiative &#8220;No 10 Million Switzerland&#8221; (population cap of 10 million)\u00a0is being voted on by the Swiss and is likely to be rejected at the ballot box New Projection by\u00a0research institute GFS Bern,\u00a0commissioned by SRG SSR, 1 pm local time Vote Projection: 52% against Population&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/?p=618546\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Early Projections: 52% Of Swiss Vote Against Immigratiion\/Population Cap<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":618547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,22,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-618546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-border-security","category-immigration","category-immigration-reform","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=618546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/618547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=618546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=618546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buglecall.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=618546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
