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.

Those here legally might be running family businesses and the like. We can't just uproot all legal ones. You could destroy parts of our economy over the issue. I think all illegals need to go and there should be a review of all that are here legally as well. IMO

WE MUST be willing to remove all illegals, with out any regards to the economy. If we "sell our souls" for the revenue of such kinds, we can only expect the ramifications of allowing them to remain. Lock down the borders, and lock up and ship our ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS. We are at WAR!!!

You are absolutely correct.

INS needs a kick in the behind and needs to crack down and do background checks on people

I know in the case of my wife that pre-visa checks included criminal, financial, medical, political views, and what you might call a "good character" interview. Also various standard innoculations.

Some of this was required by her own government, and some by the U.S. State Dept. (which has authority over immigration visas).

The bigs holes aren't in immigration visas, but in the virtual carte blanche afforded to those wanting student or business visas, not to mention political asylum.

We must cancel all Visas, and deport Aliens, both legal and illegal, and clear the deck.

I say that we first begin by deporting flaming friggin' idiots - meaning you.

Then we should consider that the problem is student, business, and tourist visas (immigrant visas are vetted reasonably carefully), and that our concern is Middle Eastern terrorism (not Japanese, French, Swedish, or Ecuadorean immigrants).

From there we need to act rationally but firmly, and not in the hysterical manner prescribed by wingnuts who've forgotten to take their medication.

Sorry Angkor, American Born, American Bred.  I'm not going anywhere.  Tone down your shrill, and face the facts. Unless we crack down and cancel (deport) ALL student visas, green cards and other "legal" points of entry, the borders of the USA will remain vulnerable.  Your statements are possibly living proof of such facts!!

And possibly not. I love to keep the xenophobes guessing.

Regardless, your "hopes" will never be realized. Green card holders won't be deported under any circumstance, in any possible world. If they came through the front door of the immigration system - and not through a Clinton "amnesty" - they likely have better background checks than you.

BTW, who's being "shrill" when they write in 24 point type?
