Switzerland Migrants

A new ranking of the best countries to be an immigrant has placed Sweden in the top spot, closely followed by Canada, Switzerland, Australia and Germany. The United States, a country which was largely founded through mass immigration, came in seventh.

The Union Cabinet on Monday gave its approval for signing the technical arrangement between India and Switzerland to formalise the procedure for cooperation on the return of irregular migrants between the two countries.

A Muslim father was fined in Switzerland Wednesday for refusing to allow his daughters to take swimming lessons at school, in the latest case exposing the challenges of integration in the Alpine country.

Switzerland votes for a new parliament today, with the populist right expected to strengthen its already dominant position amid concerns over migrants and asylum rules.

Amid the chaos and confusion of Europe's migrant crisis, Switzerland is holding itself up as a model for fair and efficient handling of asylum seekers and has drawn praise from the United Nations' refugee agency and Germany's Angela Merkel.

Switzerland on Friday said that it would take in 1,500 refugees and migrants over the next two years while strengthening support for Syria peace talks, which Bern called the "priority" for resolving Europe's humanitarian crisis.
