A NATION CHALLENGED: IMMIGRATION; Suspects in Hijackings Exploited Loopholes in Immigration Policy
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO and ROBERT PEAR

Abstract
Hijackers who flew airliners into World Trade Center and Pentagon exploited immigration system that critics contend is riddled with loopholes and that is geared to ease the way for commerce, whether in form of tourism, business or study; experts on terrorism say security precautions often take back seat to pressure from industry, concerns of neighboring governments and even bureaucratic rivalries in US government; say sheer volume of daily border crossings--300 by land from Mexico alone--make exclusion of all foreign terrorists impossible; photo (M)

Five Israelis Held In New York

October 25, 2001

Five young Israelis are "on the verge of collapse," according to family members, as their incarceration in New York on charges relating to the Bin Laden attacks continues. They were arrested on Sept. 11, only hours after the World Trade Center attack, on charges of "plotting to blow up" a New York bridge.

Katie Shmuel of the Galilee town of Yokne'am, southeast of Haifa, says that her son Yaron is in "a very critical psychological situation," given that they are not allowed to have visitors and the difficult conditions in which they are being held. "Even the Israeli Consul-General in New York was allowed to visit only after asking several times and receiving a special permit," Katie told Arutz-7's Yosef Zalmanson today. "He was allowed to talk to them only in English, and only from behind a glass partition. The Consul told me that the boys are in a bad state and that they are being held under difficult conditions."

When asked why the five youths, aged 22-26, are being held, Katie replied with despair: "It's ludicrous. They were on the George Washington Bridge [between upper Manhattan and New Jersey] at the time of the bombing, and the FBI had warnings of a terrorist plot, of guys in a white van, to blow up the bridge. So when the FBI saw this van, with my son and his four friends - one of them had a large sum of money, there were two razor knives in the van, and one of the boys is named Omer, which the FBI guys thought was Omar - they put one and one together and got three, and immediately arrested them... For the first few days, the boys were held in an FBI dungeon, tied up, with no clothes and no food." She said that original reports that they had been arrested while boisterously watching the disaster from a rooftop "are totally fabricated. For one thing, they weren't even on a roof, they were in a van..."

When asked how she explains her son's continued incarceration and that of his friends, she said, "I truly have no explanation for this incredible story - except this: The Americans are using them as pawns to pressure the Israeli government. Am I being clear enough?" She said that President Moshe Katzav and others had attempted to intervene, but there have been no results so far. The youths are being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

A spokesperson for the Israeli Consulate in New York told Arutz-7 that in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, "the Americans now have different procedures for dealing with the detention of anyone arrested in connection with the attacks. Every single request of ours must go through the FBI and the State Department's legal team." She said, "We are doing as much as we possibly can on their behalf," including, she said, getting local Jewish leaders involved in the cause of the imprisoned young Israelis.

Too many people are beginning to think of the WTC/pentagon massacres as "yesterday's news".

I expect there to be no further large-scale attacks. We are in the deterrent phase of the campaign. The last thing Saddam wants is for us to take drastic action that might be successful at neutralizing his sleepers, which are his equivalent of a nuclear deterrent. So, project ahead a few weeks or months. If no attacks occur, and all these alerts turn into false alarms, then the prospects of our mobilizing the appropriate domestic response to pick up the sleepers gets worse. True, we will build up stocks of antibiotics but (a) the sleepers could easily have stocks of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their kitchen arsenal and (b) if they disperse enough anthrax, they can always overwhelm any healthcare delivery system. So, I think what we're looking at is a slowly-dawning awareness of a new power balance, where we have the power to take out Saddam any time we want, using nuclear weapons, but he also has the capability to deliver, if not total destruction, at least "unacceptable losses," in retaliation. That stalemate may last for some time.

We could live with mutual deterence with the Soviets because, as bad as they were, they were essentially rational. Sadam might also be rational in the Soviet sense, that he wants his own miserable carcass to continue breathing. But his "sleepers", and the younger-brother-hanger-on's of his sleepers, are not rational. Any one of them could go off the deep end and any moment. And that end is very deep. Could swallow huge numbers of Americans. Which is why we've got to expel the "sleeper base" from our country.

FUTURE WIDOWS OF AMERICA: WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN

The enemy is in this country right now. And any terrorists who are not already here are free to immigrate. The government has been doing an excellent job rounding up suspects from the last two attacks. But what about the next attack? We thought there was only one murderous Islamic cell in America the last time, too.

Congress has authority to pass a law tomorrow requiring aliens from suspect countries to leave. As far as the Constitution is concerned, aliens, which is to say non-citizens, are here at this country's pleasure. They have no constitutional right to be here.

I agree that a nuclear-biological stalemate such as now exists between the United States and Iraq is not as stable as the nuclear-nuclear stalemate we had with the Soviet Union. So far, I don't have a good solution to that problem.

I wouldn't consider your wife an alien. The point is that people in the country illegally need to get the boot, not naturalized citizens who immigrated.

I would take it a step further and cancel all visas for citizens of Islamic countries as well. Let'em go home and play tourist in Syria and attend college in Lebanon.

cancel all Visas, and deport Aliens, both legal and illegal

This thing reads like a parody. The reason why we shouldn't allow any Canadian or British tourists to come to the US is what, exactly? Let me tell you that large parts of Florida have almost 50% Canadian seasonal residents in the wintertime. And you are against this??!!

You kick out all visitors and you are doing the terrorists work for them. It's obvious who the terrorists are --- obvious what ethnic group they are in. What? Are we afraid to do a little racial profiling? Not PC? Screw that. Visitors from suspect nations: out. Visitors from non-suspect nations: welcome. What's so difficult about that?
