1. Money Laundering
Andy ,   Eilat   (07.08.12)
pathetic, how to encourage money laundering, and all they have to do is purchase pre paid credit cards from the Post Office.
2. please,boycot us!
hey ,   israel   (07.08.12)
educate our goverment.
3. Expect screams and shrieks now from the leftist lobby
Tahl   (07.08.12)
I can already envision Nitzan Horowitz calling this "a racist bill", Zehava Gal-On saying how it shows "the ugly part of our country", and the New Israel Fund organizing a mass protest in the streets of Tel Aviv.
4. That's not the solution
Zionist forever   (07.08.12)
You want to stop it then you need to punish anybody who employs the illegals. If somebody hires an individual without a valid work permit then the employer will automatically be sentenced to at least 2-3 years jail time or heavy fines and the business being closed. No saying I didn't know, it's the responsibility of the employer to make sure they are hiring people who are here legally with work permits and when the permit expires they get fired. With the refugees we lock them up in a detention centre and work on deportation either back home or to another safe country if it's to dangerous to return. The economic migrants are locked up and put on th first plane home at their on expense. Untill the punishment is so harsh to scare employers to such an extent the temptation to hire people cheap then this wont change.
5. ANYONE NOTICE THE RACIST NATURE OF THESE LAWS?
stude ham   (07.08.12)
does anyone remember the nuremburg laws and the measures against the jewish people unnder german rule back in the 1930's and 40's? and does anyone notice the strong similarities being imposed against the socalled 'illegal' refugees? and other than myself is anyone else ashamed of israel reenacting the renaissance of the nuremburg laws but this time agains black africans? the more israel grows the more racist it appears to become... not only against other peoples but also against its own.
6. good but certainely NOT ENOUGH !

7. Has to be Done
grodd ,   USA   (07.09.12)
The illegals are being sent to Israel by the Eritrean govt. to work & send back foreign currency. These illegals not only have money to pay smugglers but to open businesses. They all need to rounded up & placed in detention centers & made to want to go home.
8. An easy method to prevent transfer of funds
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.09.12)
When I bought my home, had the Hashmal turned on, registered by car, I HAD TO PRESENT TUDOT to confirm who I was Anyone wanting to make a transfer of funds, MUST present his documents to prove that he too is a legal resident, otherwise the vendor who sells the transfer documents must be held financially accountable for every ILLEGAL transaction, penalized with heavy fines that would prevent him of even thinking about effecting another ILLEGAL transfer Hit them in the pocketbook, they'll feel the pain
9. Don't fine them; deport them
Geoff ,   London (UK)   (07.09.12)
10. The simplest cheapest and only solution is just DEPORT them
Simple & Cheap ,   Israel   (07.09.12)
Why make the taxpayers support them in jail while they do nothing... and pay for these centers to be built. Let us spend the same money on building the fence and just catch them and send them home. Use the extra money to help Holocuast survivors and other Jews in Israel who NEED help.
11. not Racist
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (07.09.12)
Those who are calling this proposed law racist or try to say it is equivalent to Nuremberg are way way off base and just trying to push emotional triggers to get their leftist views imposed on the country. A racist law is a law that singles someone out due to their race. This law singles out individuals due to their immigration status in the country. In the US Israelis are known to frequently overstay their Visas and DO get into trouble with immigration when caught--is that racist? --same thing in Israel--overstay your VISA, enter illegally you are illegal--Tourists get a 90 day VISA and if when you leave you are found to have stayed for 100 days, there are consequences, regardless of the color of your skin! Nuremberg--these were laws imposed by Germany against GERMAN citizens who happened to be Jewish. One day they were law abiding citizens and the next day they were nothing. Those who this law is intended for never were law abiding and never were citizens. I am confused about the use of the word illegal in # 5's. Are you having difficulty with the definition. --If so , invest in a dictionary or right click with your mouse.
12. Infiltrators
Lynn ,   Knoxville, USA   (07.09.12)
Look out for the Obamites, the Euros, the anti-Semites in the U.S. State Department, and other Israel bashers, who won't like this at all, likely upcoming this week.
13. what are they waiting for the deport them anyway?
chaim witz   (07.09.12)
14. #5. Were the Jewish targets recently landed illegal
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.09.12)
immigrants? Senera confirmed what Israel has been saying. They are economic migrants who illegaly enter Israel to EARN money. Now, as regards Rosen. What a pile of BS he has spouted! "An increasing number of asylum seekers who arrive unwillingly from Eritrea". Is he seriously trying to sell the idea that Beduin smugglers are forcing Eritreans to cross the border into Isreal. How are they doing that? At gun-point? And if they refuse to cross, what then? Then, this takes the cake!!! If the Beduin kidnappers collected $60,000 in ransom, why bother to escort the victims across the border!!! Or is it that the torture camps are so close to the border that there is no way the poor foreigners can get lost, huh? Shoudln't they just quickly move on to the next victim and collect another quick $60,000.00? I am trying real HARD to comprehend what kind of IDIOT this Rosen is. They should jail his a** for facilitating illegal immigration in Israel.
15. Economic Refugees
Ron ,   OC US   (07.09.12)
Israel must not take them in or keep them. If Israel allows the illegals to stay, which will only encourage more to come, the illegal African/Moslems will do what a half dozen Arab wars could not do. And, that is to destroy the Jewish state.
16. All of a sudden I start to see big groups of these people...
Scary ,   Jerusalem   (07.09.12)
in downtown Jerusalem, in the park on Shabbes, etc. This is something new and I have lived here many years. They are not Ethiopians.
17. Justice Ministry
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (07.09.12)
This new law is just stupid. These are people that are trying to help their families. Yes, we have a problem with all these illegals but this isn't the answer to the problem. They are doing jobs that Israelis won't do nor want to do in the first place, so better to find a more resonable solution, more human one.
18. MONEY
Willie ,   Tel Aviv   (07.09.12)
The truth is they dont really do wire transfer but cash to cash. You give whatever amount you want to the dealer,he gives you a code,you then give the code to the person to collect the money in Africa and then he/she goes to collect in the same amount that u sent. Each 100$ is charged 30$.. So dont worry no wire transfers or not much but cash to cash
19. #5 Give it a break already...no locked ghettos, death camps
Netanya ,   Netanya   (07.09.12)
gas chambers, working slaves, etc. The Jews had houses and businesses, land, bank accounts,were LEGAL citizens in Europe. This comparison to the MURDER of millions must stop. It is sick to even write what you have. So many lost their lives to save us and you spit on them with you pathetic comment. The most left people who write the most most of us feel ill with your twisted ideas and comparisons of hatred of a people to sending those who are here home, since economic reasons is not a viable one to move to other countries illegally
20. #5 Stude By any chance did you notice
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.09.12)
that these people are here Illegally ? Jews were legal citizen of Germany, this lot aren't legal in Israel Just in case you forgot to read the article more closely No comparison to Nurenburg, that's only in your mind, not in the facts
21. Justice Ministry steps up fight against infiltrators
Daniel ,   United Kingsom   (07.11.12)
I Support 100% what the Israel Government is doing I think all those Claiming to be "Eritreans" should be locked up and fined double the amount money they owe to people traffickers Plus there should be a up front Financial punishment of $7,400 also they should looked in massive detention centres for up to 10 years in solitary confinement with no access to TV, Radio, Internet, Magazine, Book and all educational materials, they shouldn't taught in vocational trades either because they may get work thereby encouraging more infiltration. So in conclusion i applaud this current Israeli Government and may these illegal migrants be pinned down hard and even harder with comprehensive implementation.
