So as long as they don’t try leaving the country they can overstay as long as they want. The only time we’ll ever catch them is when they’re already trying to leave anyway.
Or if they arrest you after you commit a terrorist attack...
Exactly how does this regime propose to “crack down on” students overstaying their visas, if the only time anybody can check their visas (and how long they are authorized to stay) is when they’re already trying to leave?
True enough, but at least we should know who overstayed their visa. If we ever do crack down on them, then there will be a database with their names and personal information including a photo. The problem is that we aren't tracking and deporting visa overstays who account for about 40% of the illegal aliens in the country. Thus, having a secure border only solves part of the problem. We have 50 million legal visitors a year.
Of course if we have an amnesty, all of the visa overstays will immediately become legal including being issued a work permit. Thank you Marco Rubio.
