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 agree. They hate America yet USE us for our freedom and colleges.

They can all go to MuslimsAreUs and keep their hate off our lands.

A few years ago my teenager was "busted" for possessing tobacco, despite my stiff ongoing opposition to smoking.  He had no money to pay his fine, so the judge assigned him "community service" to work a certain amount of hours until he had paid for the cost of the fine. 
Surely it is expensive to continually deport people who break the rules and sneak in. Perhaps they should be asked where [else] they would like to go, and then it should be verified that they would be allowed to go there.  After that, the sneak-ins should be assessed the cost of the bureaucracy involved in the verification, as well as the cost of transporting them to their new destination.  If they couldn't pay, let them work it off with heavily supervised community service first, picking up trash beside the road or some such tedious but useful service, until their efforts were deemed equal to the costs of transporting them out.  Surely the immigrants are not better than my own American citizen kid?

I guess 6,000 Americans being murdered in such a violent manner has not got their attention and some refuse to wake up to the fact that our borders and immigration policies are a national digrace and now a complete national security nightmare.

3000 is closer to the acutual number.

Thank you....and still, NOTHING is done to stem the tide of alien entries into the US borders....in fact, since 9/11, over 300,000 VISAS have been granted to Aliens, originating from Muslim countries...unbelieveable...
