Default Did you know it's harder for Israelis to come to America
Amidst all the extremist rabble that either we are the puppets of the Israelis or they are ours....I never can decide which is which....That it's actually harder for Israelis to get work visas to the US than most other industrialized nations?

The law may change on this making it easier.
From news article:
WASHINGTON – The US Congress is currently legislating a bill that, if passed, will make it easier for Israeli businessmen and investors to receive a visa to the US. The initiative is meant to limit the red tape that many investors come up against when applying for work visas to the US.

This type of visa is extended to many countries in the West, but for historical reasons, not to Israel. Three days ago, the first step was taken to rectify this. Jewish US Congressman Anthony Weiner from New York placed a bill on the House Judiciary Committee's table that will allow Israeli investors access to this benefit.

The planned legislation is aimed at a very limited sector of Israeli businessmen looking to make significant investments in the US. The bill does no specify the required investment, but it refers to large-scale transactions that will create a significant number of jobs for Americans.
The bill has no connection with the move initiated by MK Meir Sheetrit (Kadima) when he served as interior minister. Sheetrit asked that limitations be removed so that Israel could be included in the list of countries whose citizens do not need a visa to travel to the US. This list currently includes EU member states and other countries in the West who are granted entry to the US for a stay of less than three months by showing their passport.
