Interior Defense Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich addressed the issue of the illegal African aliens at the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station Wednesday: “This is a national problem. The fence is an improvement, but there are still 300-500 aliens coming in daily. We also have to remove those already here. They should each be given a passport, a plane ticket and $1,000 cash. We have prepared 2,000 places in prison for illegal aliens, but the Interior Ministry still has not actively enforced alien law.” (Maariv)
