Swiss Kids...

From WRGFM:

Switzerland’s interior minister, Pascal Couchepin, has created waves among
political parties in Bern, following outspoken comments on the subject of giving
Swiss nationality to those born on Swiss soil. With just three months until
parliamentary elections, Mr Couchepin has gone against his party, the Radicals,
and says he thinks children born to foreigners who have fully settled in
Switzerland should automatically be given Swiss nationality. The cabinet
minister said nationality should only be granted to children if their parents
have been awarded C-permits, meaning they were well-established and
well-integrated into Swiss society. However, even with those conditions, the
idea is still a controversial one in this country. The Radical party has firmly
distanced itself from Mr Couchepin’s argument, while his stance has been met
with derision by the Right-Wing UDC party. Left-wing parties, however, have
welcomed his comments, saying that as a country with high immigration, granting
Swiss nationality to second-generation immigrants makes sense for
Switzerland.
