Israel is one of the few First World countries that are accessible by foot from the Third World. Netanyahu recently pointed out that illegal African immigration [1]is a “threat to Israel’s Jewish and democratic character.”
An unmonitored influx of illegal aliens from Africa can “take [Israel] back down to the level of the Third World. They take the jobs of the weakest Israelis.”
To assuage this, the Israeli government will begin construction of a border fence with Egypt to prevent the illegal entry of migrant workers into the country. In addition, the government is working to more strictly enforce laws against hiring illegal workers.
Let’s see how this compares to the US:
* Illegal immigration is a threat to our democratic character…check
* Illegal aliens take the jobs of our weakest citizens…check
* Border fence to prevent illegal entry…check
* Enforce laws against illegal employment…check
Both Israel and the US have the same elements in common as we seek to eliminate illegal immigration. The Israeli government actively seeks to enforce their immigration laws. On the other hand, the US government contemplates Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Amnesty).
The US government singing along with the howls of the open borders lobby makes for a sweet sound to the illegal aliens’ ears.
