More news about the Sudanese..

So today I learned that the 150 Sudanese that left Israel DID NOT get deported but instead they chose to go back. Most of them were living here for about 3 years working and building up their life. But because around 1,000 illegal Sudanese come through the borders to Israel each year, Israel is trying to halt the masses of immigrants because there is simply no room for them in this tiny, complicated country. Instead of deporting them, Israel is going to put ALL the Sudanese without papers in a concentrated refugee camp, even if they have jobs and houses and lives and children here. Those 150 Sudanese decided they would rather die in their own country then in a camp in a foreign country. I'm really nervous for all of the kids at my day care because who knows if they'll be around next year or if they'll be stuck in some gated camp... Also, I've met so many of their parents and siblings and now feel a connection to their community.
