[FROM ARTICLE]
The exploit and abuse of the Eritreans on their journey is very similar to what the Mexican drug cartels are doing to the illegals coming to the US. In his book Shoham discusses how the Bedouins that are hired to move the illegals across the desert have kidnapped them for sex trafficking, held them hostage for ransom, tortured the men and raped 90% of the women. Israel is unable to control the crimes because they take place outside their border. Within Israel there are those who have set up businesses surrounding the asylum seekers needs. For example, since they are not allowed to open bank accounts, Mafia bosses have become their bankers that transfer money to the asylum seeker’s family.
Also similar to the US immigration problem, the Israeli government has allowed them to find jobs, although there is a difference; the Eritreans are not allowed to attend schools, get health benefits, or have any rights as citizens. However, to prevent an increase in crime, the police told the government the asylum seekers should be allowed to work. Currently the government is turning a blind eye, realizing the jobs they are taking are ones Israelis don’t want, the menial jobs of washing dishes, cleaning streets, and picking fruit.

Maybe every American should read this book, Asylum City, to understand how to handle illegal immigrants. Israel has not given them benefits because they do not want to encourage people to enter the country illegally. For those that argue that a wall does not work, they should look at the statistics: after building one between Egypt and Israel the number attempting to enter Israel illegally has decreased significantly. I hope that citizens of the US will become as pragmatic as those in Israel when it comes to maintaining a national identity.
