Andreas Glarner, mayor of the village of Oberwil-Lieli One of Europe's wealthiest villages has decided to pay a £200,000 fine instead of accepting around 10 refugees under its country's newly imposed quota. Residents in the picturesque Swiss village of Oberwil-Lieli said they voted 'no' in a referendum on whether to accept the refugees because "they wouldn't fit in." It comes after the Swiss government announced a quota system to meet its promise of allowing 50,000 asylum seekers into the country. By rejecting the government's plans, the village - which counts 300 millionaires among its population of 22,000 - has sent shockwaves across the country, with some accusing the residents of racism. The villagers must now fork out 290,000 Swiss francs (£200,000) as a forfeit for refusing to welcome the asylum seekers. One of them, who asked not to be named, told the MailOnline: "We do not want them here, it is as simple as that. "We have worked hard all our lives and have a lovely village that we do not want spoiled."

Libtard bullshit. I have a better quota system. Give each non libtard that owns a rifle a QUOTA called a bag limit. Problem solved.
I love it!
