Israel population: 7.8 million.
Land size: 20,700km2
Density: 379/km2
Singapore population: 5.2 million
Land size: 710 km2
Density: 7325/km2
From above data, Singapore population density is 20 times of Israel.
Israel deports their ‘economic migrants’ to safeguard its’ own citizens.
Singapore is still importing another 2 million.
Our present Govt.

[h=2]Israel Begins Deporting Migrants from Africa[/h]
June 20th, 2012 |
Author: Online Press
South Sudanese men carry luggage as they walk towards Tel Aviv's central bus station to board a bus to Ben Gurion airport, Israel, June 17, 2012.
(JERUSALEM, 17 Jun) – Israel is deporting a first planeload of African migrants back to their home country.
Israel says the deportation of 120 Africans to South Sudan is the first step toward expelling thousands more. More than 4,000 migrants who came from African countries that have friendly ties with Israel will be sent home on weekly flights.
Describing the migrants as “infiltrators,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is carrying out the deportation in a humane way while safeguarding their dignity.
Each deportee was given 1,000 euros to help them start a new life in South Sudan.
But for the migrants, deportation is a punishment. Many have been in Israel for years, having fled war or poverty for the relative prosperity of the Jewish state. Simon Meir, who describes himself a Sudanese refugee, says he and the others want asylum in Israel.
“We [are] asking peacefully that refugees from Sudan should be recognized as refugees here, to take their rights, to give them health care, education and, you know, all these things,” he said.
Israel, however, says the vast majority of the 60,000 Africans who have arrived here since 2005 are not refugees, but economic migrants. The Africans have been blamed for a growing wave of violent crimes, including alleged rapes of young Jewish women, prompting a backlash among Israelis who have demanded their expulsion.
