Deporting Illegals
The status of the children of the foreign workers who have swamped Israel’s shores legally and illegally is only one aspect of a complex, growing problem exacerbated by the infiltration of fleeing refugees and illegal transients who find their way to our already beleaguered country. This is the crux of an article over at Arutz Sheva written by National Union Head, MK Yaakov -“Ketsele”- Katz, Chairman of the Knesset Committee for the Problem of Foreign Workers. He talks about how the problem is reaching crisis proportions and therefore was the subject of a heated meeting last week at the Knesset Committee that was created to deal with the issue.
Incredibly, there are about 100,000 non residents who entered Israel on tourist visas and simply did not leave when their visas expired. This should be an issue that concerns both native Israelis and anyone thinking about moving to Israel as the dangers presented in the article argue. Katz also mentions some of the possible solutions being discussed that may not bode well for some of our media conscious brothers but, as he states, need to be considered and does not in any way negate the natural, humanitarian values of our people, but is simply a way to ensure that this country, earned with blood and tears, continues to be what it was created to be.
A piece definitely worth a read.
