Well call me a skeptical, non-tollerant, alertist pig, but....
The ACLU will be defending them, no doubt.
Apparently they wanted to enjoy our State Fair. James Taylor was awsome Friday night. I hoped they caught it after they attended the swine barn.
So far most of them have ended up someplace where the local airport identity code has an MN in it somewhere.
Back in the good old days of ad hoc charter flights out of NYC (JFK) I found myself with more than one affinity group I didn't know much about.
No doubt I missed some group meetings and went to the wrong terminal in London, but who cares.
I suspect these university "English language enhancement" exchange operations have the same flavor, and not knowing they were with a group 11 of these guys managed to get themselves lost.
They may have been "encouraged" to visit family and friends prior to the start of the program to see what our response would be.
Seventeen arrive here for school. Six report to the school, but the other eleven take off for various parts of the country. Two are still missing. I believe the six that reported were probably a decoy to keep the school(s) from being concerned about the ones that hadn't shown up. I'd like to know if the school questioned any of the six that showed up, about the whereabouts of the 11 that didn't...and if so, what they said. I'd also like to know why 11 individuals all decided to go AWOL at the same time, and were apprehended in most cases...in pairs. Coinky dink? I doubt it. Call me a skeptical, non-tolerant Miss Piggy too.
