A NATION CHALLENGED: IMMIGRATION; Suspects in Hijackings Exploited Loopholes in Immigration Policy

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.

I actually think that it would be better to focus on specific groups rather than shotgun-blast all visas away. However, if the choice is between "no more visas at all", and "visa business as usual", I support "no more visas at all".

Well that doesn't say a whole lot about San Francisco now does it...

Do you honestly believe that it is a good thing that when you walk out your front door that you see more foreigners than Americans?

Get a grip man!!!

If I am deported, what do you think should happen to my business? Liquidation? Give it to the Government?

And my employees - what about their jobs?

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water. Jeeessh!

ALL illegal aliens, visa violators, and undocumented residents should be summarily deported after arrest, detention, and a thorough investigation.

ALL legal visa holders from identified and suspect terrorist sponsoring nations, should be scrutinized closely and if found in any suspicion whatsoever, also be deported after an intense investigation.

ALL applicants for residency and citizenship should be heavily screened, and the number quotas for legal entry be drastically reduced or have a moratorium imposed on future applications for an unspecified period according to internal US national security risks and economic suitability needs.

Let other nations accept larger quotas of foreign immigrants. We've already accepted far more than our share enough.

No. It just means that in order to jump start our national security we must take extreme measures.

This is pure BS. There are plenty of native born Americans who hate this country as much as any legal or illegals that come here, probably a lot more. So before you go and start kicking immigrants out, I suggest you check out the American citizens who have nothing but hate for the US.

"No. It just means that in order to jump start our national security we must take extreme measures."

And how do you suppose these 'extreme measures' will be implemented? George W. Bush is a good and tolerant man, and would never enact such a reactionary scheme as you and your redneck brethren are proposing to kick out legal patriotic immigrants.

So, given that the Prez is not on your side, how does this silly, infantile, reactionary scheme get off the ground? Are there gonna be teams of redneck immigrant-haters rounding up legal patriotic immigrants, robbing them to buy plane tickets for their native land, and forcing them onto planes?

Short of that, this silly scheme of deporting legal patriotic immigrants simply will go nowhere. The scheme is as limited as the minds that tought of it.

Again, only a reactionary bigot would hate legal patriotic immigrants. And it appears that a few hang out at Free Republic. If you're in the Republican Party, please get out of my party NOW!
