Big Deal. And 2 came across the border yesterday.
2. Please keep this in mind
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.14)
"As a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, Israel is obligated to protect the rights of people that are unable to return to their home countries due to fear of persecution." A refugee is defined as someone who crosses ONE border into a neighboring country. The 1951 Refugee Convention thus does not apply, as Israel is more than one border away from Somalia and Eritrea. Moreover, a country cannot be forced to take in massive numbers of individuals who are economic migrants (see the struggles in the United States with respect to this); nor cannot it be forced to take in people whose culture does not fit seamlessly into the body politic (see what has happened in Western Europe). Isn't it interesting that while there are any number of countries who continually criticize Israel for its policies with respect to African illegals, none of those countries have offered to give these African emigrants a home? Hmm?

5. MIGRANTS LEAVING ISRAEL
JOHN ,   USA   (02.19.14)
The current illegal migration situation has proven once again the crime does indeed pay, and pays very well, 1,500 to be exact. I can't think of another country that actually pays criminals for breaking the law. I guess it's a good way to earn some extra money, just violate immigration laws and get paid and receive a free flight back home.
6. THE THREAT TO ISRAEL'S JEWISH NATURE IS A PURE RACIST IDEA
stude ham   (02.19.14)
because it subsumes that except for the black hatted white bearded garlic breath denizens no one else has any right to be in the shtetl called Israel.
7. Evangelical "The Fellowship" Doug Coe is dealmaker in Uganda
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.19.14)
8. Islamic immigrants should obvious..
Beary White ,   Norway   (02.19.14)
..be returned to their respective islamic-cult-faith countries. Shia should be sent to shia land, and sunni sent to sunni-land. There is no reason while the Islamic countries who produces all refugees with their deadly religion, should NOT grant parallel believers into their countries.
9. Send the illegal immigrants to...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.19.14)
...the European homeland of Elsie of Gush Halav - the hateful anti-Semitic non-Jewish woman who abuses her "democracy" to support racism and hatred for Jews. She also abuses democracy to support violence and hostility against Jews, demographic warfare on Jews and Arab theft of Jewish land and history. After all, if we are to believe Elsie, genocide on Jews, massacres on Jews, terrorism against Jews, forcing Jews to intermarry everyone on this planet, forcing Jews to cease to exist as a self-aware nation, supporting treason, high treason, racism, hatred, siding with the arch enemies of the country you reside in (which is called TREASON in most countries) and supporting one civilization replacing and displacing another civilization with threats, mockery, boycotts, theft of land and history and demographic warfare - all of this, is "democracy" according to Elsie. I'd guess dropping a nuclear bomb on Elsie's European homeland - probably Austria or Germany, and flooding them with millions of foreigners, is also a "democratic right". I Think we should send the illegal immigrants to Elsie's European homeland and specifically to her home city and specifically to her personal home in her home city. An Israeli Elsie is certainly not.
10. I really don't know anything but will make Antisemitic posts
