The Federal Act of December 16, 2005 on Foreign Nationals and Integration ( Foreign Nationals and Integration Act for short ; AIG ) is a Swiss federal law that has governed the entry and exit, residence and family reunification of foreigners since January 1, 2008 in Switzerland . It also regulates the promotion of the integration of foreigners.
history
The law was passed by the Swiss Parliament in 2005 to replace the Federal Law on Residence and Settlement of Foreigners of March 26, 1931 (ANAG). On the other hand, a referendum was called . The referendum took place at the same time as the revision of the Asylum Act on September 24th, 2006. The act, at that time known as the "Aliens Act (AuG)", was adopted with a clear majority: With a participation of 48.91% there were 68.0% yes-votes.
Expulsion under Article 68
Article 68 of the law, according to which a foreign person who has lived in Switzerland for many years and has no previous convictions, can be immediately enforced without legal proceedings, if the authorities believe that they pose a security risk, is often viewed as questionable under the rule of law.
