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.

Money sent to Mexico by their people living here account for 1/3 of their national economy!! That is money that should be circulating in this country.

When I hear the 'doing the work no one wants to do', I always wonder who was doing the work before they came. They have not been here always.

OK. Your first paragraph was saracasm, wasn't it? Just in case it wasn't, these people do not pay taxes, SS or otherwise.

The charge of 'racism' has lost it's teeth. It just doesn't work anymore.

If your wife is here legally and contributing to this country and wants to become a citizen, then you above all should want our immigration system cleaned up.
But actually, no with only few exceptions, we do not need any more people in this country. As long as there are able-bodied, non-working Americans, we do not need any from others countries.

Since I don't know anything about you, I am trying to understand your stand on this. Have you been in this country long or are you native born?
I am looking at the immigration problem from the perspective of an older person who has lived in Texas all my life. My reason for wanting a halt to legal and illegal immigration is the very frightening loss of the American way of life. There is just no way we can put a price on that. It has been paid for with the life and limbs of too many Americans to give it away for the bottom line of corporations.
Our government has decided that people coming into this country do not need to even make an effort to become part of it. We will accommodate them in language, etc. That is just not right.
I am frightened, very frightened. Many of these people pay no taxes and depend on other taxpayers to provide the things that are their own responsibilities, ignore the laws of this country, and have no respect for it or no desire to become an American, except for the economic aspect.
Without all this cheap labor (that isn't so cheap to the taxpayers), we will have fewer advances in mechanization. If we need people with specialized training, then train them. I still have the belief that Americans can rise to the occasion. Some may have to be nudged, but I think they would.

Unfortunately, millions of the ones we are attracting are not the best nor the brightest.
But if we don't have more educated people here, then that is the fault of our education system and we need to change it.
All this 'we need these people' makes us sound like a bunch of ignorant, incapable people.
Just because a person has an education and can do a high-tech job does not mean he/she will be a good citizen of this country.
