One reason we admit them is because Colleges are hell bent
on having them. They pay higher tuitions and don't ask for loans etc.

Has anyone considered the possibility that some young male students from Egypt are on their way to the university, taking the sceanic route, checking out the local babes, having the time of their lives? C'mon.

Oh yeah. Just like those 9/11 hijackers who took the scenic route, let their visas expire, partied at some strip clubs with the 'local babes,' and then committed mass murder. 9/11 created a presumption that Muslim foreigners are guilty until they prove their innocence. If 9/11 wasn't enough for you, take a look at the last 30 years of terrorism. Not the Amish doing it.

money, pure and simple.

Int'l students pay much higher rates.
Plus it helps with "diversity" on campus.

Here in KS in-state is couple thousand/semester.
Int'l students can expect to pay 6-9 grand a semester in tuition.

I find it kind of interesting that there are 11 of them. One of the muzzie terrorist's favorite 'magic' numbers.

And we are rapidly approaching september ... the 9th month, of course.

Mere coincidence?
My Paranoia?
or intentional symbolism?

They came from Mansoura, going to Montana, possibly Missoula, so I took a wild guess.

Still say Norman, Oklahoma, is where they'll be found.

Oh, I didn't realize there were six "good boys" on the trip, too - and it was Bozeman which was their destination originally - sorry about the Missoula:

" ... The Egyptian men were among a group of 17 students who arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York from Cairo on July 29 with valid visas, according to U.S. authorities and university officials.

The other six have arrived at the Bozeman campus for a monthlong program on English language instruction and U.S. history and culture, university spokeswoman Cathy Conover said. ..."

Montana State has tried repeatedly to contact the students, university spokeswoman Cathy Conover said. When that failed, the school notified Homeland Security officials and registered the Egyptians as "no-shows" in the system developed after Sept. 11 to track foreign students.

"We hope this doesn't cast doubt on this program because we think it's important to have international students on our campus and in our community," Conover said.

(Oh, not at all. We all feel extremely great about it. Keep up the good work.)

Or maybe there are more that the thumb-fingered feds, in their ecstatic glee in feeding off our tax money for a sham facade of national security, don't know about.

Its less clear cut as to why international students should be so highly valued.

Int'l students don't pay more than out-of-state students, and often less than in-state illegal aliens (who supply diversity, if not cash).

Loans aren't an issue for the college -- they don't care whether the money is borrowed or not as long as the tuition arrives on time.
