Schools Adjust to Student-Tracking System
Deliberately misleading headline ... let's just not mention we are really talking about FOREIGN nationals here and not legal American citizens.
I am just condeming FOX's use of leftist propoganda tactics of misleading headline and opening sentence, but then later in the story offering the actual TRUTH.
As far as I am concerned, ALL VISITORS to the USA should be tracked. You go over your stay, bye-bye. I was stationed in Japan for 6 years and they DO NOT tolerate that stuff one IOTA! I was picking up the wife at the airport in Osaka and they had her in a holding area in Security because she had no idea of my address (she forgot it) and I actaully had to ID her and sign the paperwork to get her! HAHA! Welcome to Japan. We still laugh about it.
Yeah I remember, they don't put up with too much from drunk Americans, either ;}
"It's quite clear that the majority of SEVIS visitors come to enjoy the educational benefits and opportunities that may only exist here in America," Knocke said. "There are those who ... may still see — and they would be mistaken to do so — may still see the immigration system as a potential vulnerability to come to America, exploit the immigration system and carry out their agendas."
Noting that some of the terrorists responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks entered the country on students visas, Knocke said some of the 155 people arrested were taken in for making, selling or using fraudulent documents obtained from information in SEVIS.
