I know I'm providing no context, but this one works if you read it yourself.

This would be like Americans forcing all Canadian immigrants to prove they know English.

Good for Switzerland.  You wouldn't want some German who speaks the country's language coming in and stealing their jobs.

Ideally, an immigrant would need to take a test and the government would offer cheap to free classes for instruction in the material to be covered on said test if the immigrant needed instruction. If not, they could just take the test.

But Switzerland's ridiculous method is fine too.

I'd prefer the method outlined by Lief but could live with Switzerland's method.

Sh!t like that is the logical, indeed the inevitable consequence on "no exceptions", "tough on xy" stances. In every field.
