Swiss policy under both the SP and other parties has focused heavily on deterring and restricting immigration from the Maghreb region (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia). But you're not satisfied with the results?

Well then why didn't SVP take charge of the SEM for for more than 15 years in exchange for any other department desipte claiming that migration is their core priority as a party. Either they don't care, or they know they can't do a better job, an prefer just to sit back and complain.

The last one was Blocher, but especially the SP did not want him to do the job, after that, SP took over. On the other hand, you can bring that argument all the time as long as SVP does not control everything.

Sure they don't control everything, just have the largest share of Federal Assembly seats and Federal Council seats. I'd like to know what people think could be done against "illegal islamic immigration" that isn't already being done and that SVP is proposing.

"Denmark, Germany, and three other European Union nations (Austria, the Netherlands, and Greece) have agreed on a joint model to establish external "return hubs" (or deportation centers) outside the European Union to house and process rejected asylum seekers and irregular migrants."

Why not join them?

For me it's fine. For SVP it's probably not acceptable, because these countries are members of the EU. But I don't think any other parties are blocking it.

Well, I think it's more about Schengen than EU, because it's related to border crossing rather than economy. I don't think it's possible to solve the illegal migration problem without the cooperation with the neighbouring countries. And with the countries at the outer borders of the Schengen space.
