Switzerland votes to curb EU immigration

Well there is that of course. Was it the former US ambassador in Denmark who, when departing, mentioned that perhaps it would be a neat idea to call "2nd or 3rd generation immigrants" "Danes" instead?

The problem is that for a lot of countries like Denmark the word can either mean citizenship or ethnicity.

Do you call your 25th generation Roma Magyars?

I don't think this guy thought his plan through.

No, and I never said we did. Also, it is not good that we don't.

Or. of course, Switzerland could loosen up its citizenship requirements...

True. But they don't want to and I'm not sure it would help. They're not EU members so new citizens wouldn't become EU citizens and existing EU citizens who became Swiss would possibly lose their EU passport.

Something is not right over there when second and third generation inmigrants still don't have a chance to achieve Swiss citizenship, despite being born there and living there all their lives.

If we did that we wouldn't have any Americans.
