I know why you are saying that but you are talking about something that you can't understand if you don't live in the country. The big problem that we have in Switzerland is because a lot of people work in the country but don't live in. These people work for a lower salary because in France for example the cost of living is lower. So swiss people can't compete because they can't live in their own country with the same salary that french worker living in France. So it became more and more difficult for a swiss resident to find a job with a decent salary when others accepted to work for less. In addition, french borders don't spend their salary in the country but in France, use our public services, they used to use all our parkings (in Geneva) at the point that now is forbidden for everybody (include swiss people) to park in a lot of areas more than 30 minutes if they don't live in the vicinity. For example, in my old work I couldn't find a parking space for the day but just for 30 minutes because I lived in an another district (despite of paying taxes for this kind of public services) but my company allowed my french colleagues to use their parking spaces but not the people living in swiss.
This is just a summary of the problem because the borders affect our lives in many different ways but swiss people don't have problems with the foreigners inside of the country just with the borders that take advantage of the situation. I am against this new law in our country but I don't think that the majority of swiss are racicst but just tired. Nevertheless, I don't think that borders are the real problem but I believe that it is the companies which create inequalities between borders and Swiss resident workers.
