$124M Plan Hopes To Convince Voluntary Departure
JTA is reporting that Israel’s Cabinet allocated nearly $124 million
to a plan designed to have illegal African migrants return to their
countries of origin.Most of the money allocated from the plan
approved unanimously on Sunday will go toward building a new
migrant detention center in southern Israel and paying migrants
who agree to leave the country up to $3,500.
The plan also is aimed at reducing the presence of migrants in city
centers It calls for adding 550 positions to law enforcement teams
from the Public Security Ministry, the Population and Migration
Authority and the Economy Ministry that will carry out
crimes against what they claim are illegal migrants and their
employers.
The steps that we approved today are
necessary for maintaining the Jewish and democratic character
of the state" They can take the money or they can end up in one of
our created camps that will be unlike any vacation you have ever
had says an Israeli official who wishes not to give his name.
