No Amnesty For Illegals In Israel
From an article linked to in Mark Krikorian's Center for Immigration Studies weekly alert:
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz recently instructed ministry officials to develop a comprehensive plan for deporting 100,000 illegal foreign workers from Israel within a year.
"What's going on is an outrage," said Steinitz at a meeting a few hours prior to the Passover Seder. "There are a 100,000 people taking jobs illegally while Israelis remain unemployed. The plan must involve painful economic sanctions on those who employ illegal workers.
"The point is to make it fiscally unwise to hire an illegal worker," he told ministry employees. "It is a financial crime. It is not enough merely to deport the workers; we must also hurt the employers."
Steinitz's plan falls in line with the policy of Internal Minister and Shas Chairman Eli Yishai and Immigration Authority Chief Yaakov Ganot.
"Our goal is to make sure that unemployed people in Israel will be able to find respectable employment and that the Israeli public will understand that illegal workers must not be employed," said Ganot, whose organization has recently hired dozens of new workers to enforce this policy.
In 2008, the Immigration Authority conducted fewer initiatives against illegal workers and, as a result, their number in Israel increased significantly. In fact, 2009 is considered a peak year, in terms of numbers of illegal foreigners in Israel.

How refreshing to see a country like Israel that CARES for it's people and their lives!
To bad we don't have a ruler like that, someone that uses common
sense and will stand up to the illegal immigrants and their threats.
A country that doesn't give illegals and prisoners MORE RIGHTS than a law abiding American.
A country that isn't afraid of NOT being politically correct.
You have my respect Israel.
GOOD JOB ISRAEL! Your people should be proud to have a government like yours.
Ps Do you allow Irish people? I need a country that's got balls and compassion for it's people.
