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.

Generally, I tend to view people who use overheated rhetoric and jumbo fonts to be a few cans short of a sixpack...

Get a grip. First, determine just WHO to deport. YOU are hysterical. Take a valium and calm down. We MUST do this by the book. Wholesale cancelling visas is plain nuts. There must be a reason for kicking someone out. And it must be a good one if the person is here on a valid visa. War fever ain't gonna cut it.

There are a LOT of us with foreign-born dependents who would be MIGHTY unhappy with the likes of you if anything like what you preach should happen. MIGHTY unhappy. And a LOT of us are military and vets, just the very kind of people who you do NOT want to have so unhappy during "wartime". My Jamaican wife is far more patriotic than many who were born here. Her son is seriously thinking of U.S. military service. YOU are a dolt if you are contemplating such an hysterical and DUMB act.

None of the hijackers were illegal aliens. Two or three had expired visas.

I'd just like to see them deport the people from countries where Al Qaeda has a presence, and scrutinize the ones from other Arab countries. When a bunch of Mexicans crash into the Sears tower, then maybe we should worry about them. But as far as Sept. 11 goes, illegal Mexicans aren't all that relevant.

Well Mr. Old Hoosier from Indiana, can you tell me that or give me facts or data or *guarantee* that out of the *million and millions* of illegal aliens criminally entering our country from our southern border, that NONE are potential terrorist in waiting?

Can you garantee that out of these millions and millions, none harbor anger towards America? Can you garantee that out of the millions and millions of illegal aliens none will murder our citizens or commit brutal crimes against us?

Where are your stinking garantees that these millions of criminal illegal aliens, people who crap on our laws and sovereignty are not terrorist, are not criminals, and will not commit crimes against Americans?

Sadam Hussein could put on a New York Yankees cap and enter this nation from our southern border with little or no effort for crying out loud.

Dick Morris was on "Hannity and the other guy" last night and talked about a great idea - make alien drivers licenses expire on the date the visas expire - simple, not expensive, and useful.
