A growing number of Russians are reportedly requesting asylum in Israel, where officials say they are gaming the system to obtain work permits.

Russia provided the biggest number of immigrants last year under Israel’s repatriation program.

“We have noticed a new phenomenon of Russians, who arrive mainly for economic reasons, seeking asylum that worries us and sets off warning lights,” the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority’s Yossi Edelstein was quoted as saying Tuesday.

“The wage gaps are enormous and motivate people to come work in Israel,” the authority’s head of enforcement said.

The number of Russian citizens who have been refused entry into Israel has also reportedly tripled alongside the surge in asylum requests.

I assume these are gentiles, as Russian Jews would have the Law of Return grant them citizenship. Unless things have changed.

Trump needs to apply beauty pageant skills to immigration. Could work for Israel too.

So far Trump has only applied a skills test and banned certain problematic countries. But he needs to step up his game and add aesthetic qualities to the application.

Seriously, why aren't women like her moved to the front of the line. It's common sense!!!

The Israelis just should circumsize a couple of them. Once the word gets back to Russia, they will stop coming.

I believe that the Russians infiltrated KGB into the US when the German wall went down. They should give everyone in Congress a lie detector test.
