31. Mall kids & More
Laurel ,   L.A., CA USA   (05.24.09)
#5 on point, yes, but wait...there's more! Nevermind the relatively harmless mall sellers; how about the door-to-door construction sales folks and their boss's operations? Preying on the unsophisticated, they sell "home improvement" for 3 x retail, but offer financing to pay for it. They're operating like sub-prime lenders...& we all know what happened to them! (p.s., I hear business is dead for these guys now; many are returning to Israel as a result! Ha ha guys, so much for your dreams to make a cool mil in 3 years!) Bottom line: humorously admire their persistence, but don't EVER buy their products!
32. NO CHANCES AT ALL
ARLENE QUILANTANG ,   israel   (05.29.09)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR VISA FREE FOR THE US -- BUT WHAT HAPPENED NOW -- REJECTION AGAIN -- PITY FOR ME
33. Where's Rahm?
SS ,   Dallas, USA   (06.03.09)
I guess Obongo's (Obama) chief-of-staff Israeli-American Rahm Emanuel isn't doing much in this issue. Rahm is 4th-ranking House Demoslime after idiot Nancy Pelosi, and is basically the gate-keeper to what Obongo sees and hears.
34. you abuse it- you loose it

people have only themselves to blame. A country has a right to decide who gets in and who stays for how long. This applies for immigrant status as well as a tourist visa. You 'overstay your welcome' and every person who applies afterwards will suffer. The US is very protective of their immigration quotas, and that goes for tourist visas as well- why should they exempt countries and people who abuse the system? The time of free movement across the globe is gone- forever. As a Swiss I moved from Switzerland to the States to Canada to Spain- all legally and slowly- quite frankly I do not see why anybody should be able to jump the queue just because he is from Israel or any other country. Nobody is above the law.

I am not sure how many we are talking about, but the Europeans do not condone terrorism either- what you are saying does not make sense at all. So you would allow the Israelis to stay on- because they are Israelis? But would refuse the Europeans because they are Europeans? All the TBs accusing the US as anti-semitic- get a grip. The law is the law- just exactly why should the Israelis have exemptions, beyond the special treatment they get for everything. Because everybody is feeling guilty? The US Immigration system is not more or less perfect than any other- just don't abuse it. When it says a 6 months visa and no work- it means just that. After 6 months you get out- and you do NOT work- clear English!
36. #12 Grandma

that is exactly the point- Mexican illegals are i l l e g a l Why do you think Israeli illegals are all of a sudden legal, or should have more rights? Because they are Israelis, worth more? More important? Nicer? Richer? What? Two wrongs do not make one right.
37. The Israeli cart hounds give Israelis a bad name
sherri cohen ,   las vegas usa   (08.10.09)
#21-Your american friend should be ashamed of him or herself. I have several stores in malls here in las vegas and every single day i have to walk by 10 carts, all Israeli run. These workers may turn over more product, but they are disgusting, rude, and a total embarrasment to the Israelis i know who are legit. The only reason they make sales is because the victim they catch walking by just buys the damn product just to get away from these arrogant obnoxious low lifes. p.s i am married to an Israeli. These workers are NOTHING like the Israelis i know.
