Israel’s ‘Anchor Baby’ Issue: A Conundrum for a Jewish State
The problem is not with the legal immigrants from the Philipines or Thailand or a few other countries. A fair & just solution can be found.
The real problem is with the thousands of illegal immigrants, mostly Africans that sneak across the border from Egypt (the Egyptians shoot to kill, many have been killed).
I live in Eilat, a small tourist resort. In just a few years, our town has been flooded with these illegal immigrants. The population of Eilat is now 10-12% illegal immigrants.
The numbers increase every month.
Many of these immigrants work in the hotel industry. Others in cafes & restaurants, as day-labour, & house-cleaners. But the number of jobs is limited, the number of illegals is not – this town has reached the limit in the number it can absorb.
To be fair, these illegal immigrants are pretty well-behaved, not involved in crime for the most part. But, if there are no jobs, how will they live?
The city has finite resources, we are being overwhelmed.
