The discussion at the end of the interview on the EU'S need for and moral right of nations to control borders, to have an immigration policy, and to expel foreign born criminals resonates with many of the same debates in the US. Because of the absence of effective border control, the de facto US immigration policy is if you are in, you can stay in. Explicitly the US does have immigration regulation and laws. However, because of the absence of a national consensus, with a change in the Executive, administrative action results in variability of execution of regulation and laws which can and does result in chaos. New York City's inability to handle undocumented immigrants is an example of this chaos. In the US, the political value of this division is so valuable for elections, the outlook for a political solution seems remote.
Population and immigration data discussed seems incomplete. Of the 2 million not Swiss born, what percent of these are other Europeans? In the US, when we count foreign born people in California, we count those born in Florida as native born Americans. If 90% of these 2 million foreign born are other Europeans, Americans would be unlikely to conceive of an immigration issue. Switzerland classifying 60,000 Ukrainian refugees (0.6% of Swiss population) as a challenge feels like the cultural barriers of the late 19th century USA, where laws formulated by a WASP aristocracy limited immigration based upon religion (no Jew or Catholics), race (no Asians, Africans, Arabs) or culture (no Meditereans or Irish).
I am not a fan of Public service or mandatory military service, I had to do it here in austria and it only steals a year of your life, Great Video otherwise tho!! Always interesting to hear from my neighbors although I think the majority of those „problems“ with immigration are vastly overblown and only big because people are populist and reactionary I have lived my whole life (only two decades so far, but still) in Vienna where almost 50% of people where born outside austria and I think it has made the city only better if not even helped it out of its population (and cultural) decline which happened from the end of WW1 or WW2 to the 90s
Vers interesting thsnks

Unbelievably naive comment. A year in service of your country is not stolen time.
