Where was your big mouth when the Soviet opportunists were slithering in? In the back seat of a car with one of them?

This Morning at the Kol Israel news it was told that those "soviet opportunists" youths have a higher % of voluntering for combat units than the Sabras .

Let's not compare apples to oranges here. Rifman stated the southern infiltrators are "worse than terrorists." I applied this statement to the peddlers of samim, STDs, knive-wounds, and "protection" who faked their way here from the FSU and built an underground. I work in centers that care for Israelis of all walks of life, and believe me, I've seen plenty of former Soviet 19 year-old boys - here for years, and able-bodied enough to break into someone's home - who don't have a clue about the army.

8,000 illegals in one year is the real stat - not 10,000 in 5. This is completely out of the control and the government continues to do nothing.

Why this insane desire to live here? I don't mind some of them coming, but not all of them. We don't have the means to care for them. Holocaust survivors still have not got the money THEY were promised. They need to be the first priority. So, if there's any cash floating around, they need to get it first.

The more you take in, the more will come. Eventually, your civil services will not be able to handle the overwhelming crush of these immigrants and will begin to decline. They don't pay taxes, they will not integrate, and they bring crime and poverty to the country. Half of the areas along the US/Mexico border are now crime and drug infested ghettos. Your Negev will soon turn into one too. Europe is facing the same thing with Muslims from the Third World. Stop it while you can.

SURELY NOT ANOTHER WALLTO KEEP OUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...WE NEED ONE FOR THE PHILADELPHIA ROUTE,WE NEED ONE FOR THE BORDER WITH LEBANON ,WE NEED ONE FOR GAZA .WE NEED ONE FOR THE WEST BANK...IT IS PLAINLY DRIVING ME UP-TTH-WALL!

Cruel and inhumane as it might be, Israel is not for them. They must be returned.

Of these that came in, the only ones that should remain are those from Darfur. Don't forget that there still remain those Jews who are still in Ethiopia that need to be brought in. Those who are Jewish go first, then Falash Mura. After all those who are on list are in Israel, that's it. Any future applicant needs PROOF of their heritage. Ivory Coast? They don't belongin Israel. Ghana: They don't belong in the country either. They just do not have the heritage. Taking in Eritreans could make it more difficult to take out the remaining Jews in Ethiopia. There are already many Somalis leaving their counry who have made it to Yemen. It won't be long before they reach Saudi. They are steadily moving northward from the horn of Africa, and I fear at some point, will eventually reach the Sinai. From there, Israel is a short distance.

From my readings, Israel is a very humane nation that feels obligated to take in refugees; however, the experience here in the States and in Europe shows that very unpleasant things can happen if too many immigrants are allowed in. Israel must concentrate her efforts on how to deal with outside threats; it does not have the luxury of having to also deal with assimilation issues.

I hope that the Christian Eritreans will be able to come to the US.

The Ethiopians are like the Russians. They say they are Jewish but as soon as they are given their citizenship papers, they find Jesus on the spot. Then it's not too long before they join the Arabs in claiming they are persecuted for being Christian. And as much as Israel would like to sympathize with the Darfurians, they are Muslims from an enemy country. The leader of the Sudanese JEM is a Bin Laden sympathizer lest we forget.They have plenty of other immigration options in the oil-wealthy Muslim world. If they end up living in Israel, in a generation or two they will call themselves Palestinians and murder Jewish people. If Israel wants to help people then help people in the Buddhist and Hindu world when needed. Israel sent aid works to Turkey after their earthquake and what has happened since? A Turkish synogauge was blown up and a Turk tried to hijack an Israel plane. Same with Pakistan. Israel sent aid workers during their earthquake crises and they gave Israel two suicide bombers in return. Don't be kind to the cruel.
