1) The Jewish people of France can thank the French voters for this mess!

2) Why would these people seek asylum in the United States instead of merely obtaining an Oleh's Certificate under the Law of Return and then settling in Israel!? This would be a much easier and more honest route to go!

If they are truly refugees why not head to the place you KNOW will take you or at least to the nearest safe nation? If they are French citizens would they not be allowed to simply pack up and move to another EU nation?

This could be a good way of getting rid of the numerous immigrants in democratic france.
Killing a few arabics and a few black ones to get them to petition the democratic us for asylum. Democratically appealing so to say...

The answer on this question is very simple - once Jew gets the status of the refugee in the US he becomes the money from the federal government. The special law was lobbied in the time of the USSR and as far as know acts for the present moment.
That is why the geniuos plan of the TFBM will not work - arabics and blacks don't have any reason for choosing the US asylum, as they are not Jews and therefore don't get the financial bonus for immigration.
BTW, it's interesting, perhaps some american fellowmember of this forum know the exact dimension of the finacial personal aid for Jewish immigrant. How much is it?

I think this is very interesting, and extremely Strange. few years ago when I was posting on the CNN Forms, I went round and round with a french Jew, who was lauding how close Isreal was to France. Now French Jews want to imigrate to the USA????? I don't understand.

They are about 1/2 million of French Jews, 7000 signed the petition, the percentage is 1.4% of the French Jews.

Conclusion: Totally irrelevant...

Possibly... but nobody talks about it here. I don't know why, this story is so ridiculous that it could be interesting to some people. Besides, let me add that the article Frank linked too is - as usual - not representing the facts accurately. It makes the kidnapping of Ilan Halimi sounds as if it was an act of ethnic cleansing, when in fact the goal was to receive money from the family, in exchange for his liberation.
