Barak promised the completion of this fence by 2010, this is unbelievable incompetence. We are being flooded by 10s of 1000s of economic migrants claiming to be refugees and the govevernment STILL does nothing but talk. 200 new arrivals a week! The Sudanese in particular know that as soon as they enter Israel they effectively make themselves refugees as Israel is unable to return them. In Sudan itself however, the conflict is over in Darfur and refugees are returning to the South. Migrants are not coming from Cairo, they are coming from Sub-saharan Africa with the intention of settling in Israel (easy, cheaper, quicker, safer to get to then Europe). We are also perceived as soft on illegals. Make no mistake, those here already are here to stay and no incentive exists to stop further infiltrations. The left ofcourse welcomes these new comers (we are a State for all citizens afterall) and feeds the media with ridiculous sob stories. Indeed, the general Israeli perception of these illegals is that they are running away from carnage in Darfur. While only some 5% of all the infiltrators are from Darfur, even these had been living in Cairo for many years before paying people traffickers and bribing Egyptian border guards to bring them into Israel. They could quite happily go back to Sudan now, but can't as they have now been to Israel. This is purely an economic migration and must be stopped immediately along with mass deportations. The fence must be started yesterday - not talk for another 6 months.
