PA: 45,000 Palestinian illegals smuggled into Israel

Secretary-General of the Palestine Labor Union Shaher Sa'ad: “There are perhaps more than 120,000 [Palestinian] laborers with [Israeli work] permits… We are speaking about 45,000 [illegals] who are currently inside Israel and a number of laborers are arrested daily… The main thing is that he finds [work], even though the cost of his entry to Israel is very high. The ladder they climb over [the security fence] – they pay 1,500 shekels ($410). If he is smuggled in by car he pays between 2,000-2,500 shekels ($550-$680).”
