      Interior Minister Works to Repatriate Eritreans


      Interior Minister Eli Yishai announced Wednesday his plan to continue to repatriate migrant workers who ended up crossing the border into Israel without any visas or work permits. Minister Yishai said the government would work to pay for flights back to their homelands. The migrants generally come from Eritrea and North Sudan. The influx of migrants has dropped sharply since Yishai began implementing his plan.
