Those "Palestinian Refugees"

In your attempt to respond in an semi-intelligent manner, you've missed the entire point I was trying to make.

Mohammed Atta may have entered the U.S. under false pretenses (i.e., he claimed he was learning to fly when in reality he was planning a terrorist attack), but I would hardly consider his actions an "invasion." If anything, I would call them a simple strategy to take advantage of a country that is lax in protecting its own borders.

I find it hard to believe that there is a single Israeli today who is unemployed because a Palestinian took his job.

The Arab "refugees" who fled Israel left little wealth and little history, since most of them had not come to "Palestine" until Jewish settlers opened economic opportunities in what had been a desolate country for centuries.

Somehow or other, this proper chronology of Arab immigration into what is now Israel and the West Bank never appears in the press or on TV. I wonder why? (/sarcasm)

And why didn't the Arabs offer them a job? Why don't they now? Why do the Palestinians need for somebody else to give them a job?

The soldiers aren't there to keep Palestinians out of Israel -- they're there to make sure the Palestinians entering Israel have valid working papers.

They're there to keep criminal terrorists out of Israel. Checking papers is only a part of what's necessary to keep the terrorists out.
