Well it's since years (maybe even decades) like this. French speaking cantons are usually much more open to immigrants or to less strict rules with asylum for example (it's a phenomen called "Röstigraben") ;). In this vote it's even more visible that cantons who have a higher percentage of immigrants voted "no" (in favor of immigrants) while more or less all rural cantons (with less immigrants) voted "yes".. Speaks for itself I think.
