    Italian frontalieri are people who live in Italian border and work in Switzerland, they are not the migrants that move definitely to Switzerland, they cross the border everyday. In the past probably there were also some Swiss, especially the Italian Swiss, that made the same, still living in Switzerland but working in Italy. The same happens with the French border.

Same thing in Geneva with the French for example.
    I see.
    Btw, I mentioned Tamils. What can you say about them? How well are they integrated? Switzerland has actually the largest Tamil diaspora in Europe.

    Anyway, the person who voted Balkanites is probably a Balkanite.

    I don't vote. But I think second-generation Albanians and Serbs are integrated quite well in Swiss society.

    Fribourg (my canton) has not a lot of them, but I think now they are not disliked, maybe they are even liked. Their children seem to get education, the parents work a lot. I have never had any problem with them and they seem to be cool I guess.

    There are apparently 3500 rich Germans in Ticino, so apparently yes. I don't really know a lot about Ticino, sorry The climate is milder and there is an Italian flavor without the Italian state As for the other cantons, I don't really know about rich German pensioners, there are still much more German workers, especially in universities.

    Here is an article in German if you can read it. http://www.swissinfo.ch/ger/die-deut...-tessin/156518
