We should do like Australia does with their "illegals" and "refugees". They send them to Papua New Guinea. We should send them to a DIY Refugee Camp in the Negev and then HOME!

.... let them go home to Eritrea and the Sudan. Where they were never in danger in the first place.

It's alarming to see so many commenters here put the formalities of immigration status over concern for other human beings. Furthermore, it's not just people here illegally who are at risk. I am here on a B-1 visa. I work. I pay taxes. Apparently, my money is good enough to subsidize gas masks for Israelis, but not for myself. My plan to try living here before deciding whether to make aliyah means that my life is less worthy of protection than an Israeli's. The papers I submitted to obtain my B-1 are identical to those I will have to submit if I choose to become an Israeli. Can anyone make a logical argument that there is a meaningful difference when it comes to a potential life-and-death scenario?
