1. Solve the Tal law and immigrant issues

in one fell swoop. Draft the haredim and place in police units tasking them specifically with patrolling the streets where there are high concentrations of illegal immigrants. They could live at home and study in their time off. A dramatically increased police presence would reduce crime rates and word would get round that we are no longer a soft touch. We also enable the haredi community to share the burden of defending the state in its physical form as well as, according to their system of beliefs, its spiritual form.

Most of those migrants are people that seek a better life in Israel compared to the miseries they are going through in their own countries. THEY DON'T COME TO DESTROY ISRAEL as others keep and keep trying. Why not use them as a labor force with DECENT salaries and give them the opportunity for a better life?. They are not the enemy and Israel needs faithful workers. I bet they will respectfully stand up when we play our National Anthem or even stand up silently when our sirens sound in Yom HaShoah and Yom Hazikaron.
4. They are destroying our dream

of the restoration of our Jewish nation. Minister Yishai, 2015 is too long. Solve this problem this year.
5. #3. They're illegal immigrants
Avi   (06.05.12)
If you want, you may apply for a 4 months visa to work in Israel and come back next year for another 4 months. We already have tens of thousands of workers from the philippines so don't count on it. Fact is, they came in illegally and without security checks or medical examinations. They don't plan on leaving on their own and they account to no one. Israel is a small country of 8 million in a small land, we can't be expected to accommodate all of Africa. All of this should have been obvious to you, and this is without mentioning the demographic issue like the one discussed in Europe.
6. "Ilegal" Immigrants & The "Hon" Eli ^ Yishai
Ariyeh ,   Srigim (Li On)   (06.05.12)
Minister, do you need this Committee to remind you of: Deuteronomy Chapter 24 - remember this? 14 Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates. 15 In the same day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD and it be sin in thee. So, solve the problem "once and for all by applying Tanach, not committees!

I meant about those that already are inside Israel, not of tall the africans that want to escape from their miseries. These people are already here. It is our big problem if we deport them or we let them stay. A new law has already been passed, so those who want to infiltrate from now and on, that will be another story. Of course you are right; they should be clinically examined while they are in israeli soil weather they work or they hang around in our cities.
8. HOW QUICKLY SHAS FORGETS OUR OWN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HISTORY
stude ham   (06.05.12)
you know... the one that took place into palestine less than 100 years go. and how quickly or conveniently shas has forgotten the plight of the jewish people in the germany of the 1930's. shas is not only corrupt but also very racist.
