Quite possibly the wisest immigration policy I've ever heard of.
Government/immigration bureaucrats can only do so much to assess immigrants suitability in having earned citizenship.
Immediate neighbours and local community having considerable influence over the granting of citizenship?
Pretty cool I reckon.
Same with the LONG "trial period" and what I understand to be automatic deportation of foreign nationals convicted of certain crimes including sex crimes, robbery, drug dealing and social welfare abuse.
