I can accept countries needing policies on immigration, but certain professions where you are pulling your weight financially and adding to the culture of a country is

  an ideal that shouldn't be pushed away. Musicians have always been nomadic. There has never been and never will be enough work to go round on a 75% permanent basis. I understand Switzerland wants to maintain it's high living standards and living wage, but Switzerland should embrace that it is possible for musicians to do this in their country and in return they get some the best concerts going worldwide. Focus on controlling the borders for those who do lower the minimum wage by under-cutting the traditional Swiss 'working class', but don't sacrifice a relatively tiny number of people who add to the culture and have trained as long as doctors in your bid to control immigration.
