Israel to Criminalize Wire Transfers by Illegal Immigrants

Although Jewish Supremacists have been at the forefront of promoting the rights of illegal immigrants in America and Europe, Israel has just announced that it is to criminalize wire transfers “back home” by non-Jewish “infiltrators.”

According to a report in the Israeli Ynet news, the Israeli Justice Ministry has published a draft amendment to the “anti-infiltration law” that will “criminalize international wire transfers sent by infiltrators. The amendment proposes a punishment of six months imprisonment or a heavy penalty of some NIS 29,200 (about $7,400).

The bill also penalizes those who aid with wire transfers, stipulating that these individuals will face a one year prison sentence, or a fine of NIS 29,200 or a sum equal to twice the amount that was transferred, or intended to be transferred, out of Israel – whichever one is higher.

“Reducing the economic incentive is an effective tool to deal with the phenomenon of infiltration,” a statement issued by the Justice Ministry read. “In recent years, the State of Israel has been dealing with a wave of African infiltrators, who currently amount to over 60,000 people.”

Restricting infiltrators from sending wire transfers abroad balances Israel’s right to protect itself from the growing phenomenon of infiltration” the statement said.

Over 129 migrants were arrested over the past week and moved to a holding facility as part of the crackdown on illegal immigration. According to data presented in a meeting convened by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, some 928 illegal migrants were detained in June and 2,031 migrants were arrested in May.

During the meeting, Netanyahu said the construction of the border fence will most likely be completed in October. “We have much more to do but we’re on the right track,” said Netanyahu.
