So, what happens when they get to the 10M limit? Newborn do not get citizenship until someone dies? Or do they "remigrate" those that have not "integrated with the society"?

This is just dog whistling for fascist.

Eventually the Free Movement of Persons agreement with EU/EFTA will be cancelled. Means it will be harder to immigrate into Switzerland for work. Similar like Brexit (which didn't really work)

They exit Schengen and implement immigration quotas. I doubt anyone is thinking about immediately booting or shooting 10,000,~~000~~,001st person.

Well if they get that far they've gone about 9.99billion over quota already.

Switzerland has a huge number of temporary residents that never get citizenship.
