Commander and past president of the Arizona Medical Association Asra Nomani, former Wall Street Journal reporter, self-defined as a liberal and author of Standing Alone: An American Woman's Struggle for the Soul of Islam

Net immigration is 1% of the nation's population, three times more than that of Germany. According to the EU, 230,000 foreign citizens cross the border to work in Switzerland every day. In 2009, the Swiss People's Party launched a national referendum initiative "against the construction of minarets" and won with 57.5% of the national popular vote. In 2010, the Swiss People's Party's national initiative to "expel criminal foreigners" also won, with 52% of the national vote. And in 2014, the Swiss People's Party's national initiative "against mass immigration" was also successful, with 50.3% of the national population supporting the initiative. Luzi Stamm, VP of the Swiss People's Party said after the vote that Switzerland should "have the right to control its own immigration." The European Commission issued a statement that it was "disappointed" in the Swiss decision on immigration. Just what does the Swiss decision mean for Europe and does it have implications for the rest of the Western world?
