I don't think we need to allow 15,000 Saudi students to come to our universities. We shouldn't be allowing any immigration- even temporary- from any of these Arab dictatorships, kingdoms and mullocracies...
If we had any choice, we shouldn't be buying their oil either, but we are unable to support our own energy needs.
I suspect the oil problem influences our behavior re: the immigration issue.
This should be shouted through the airwaves. Where are all the weenies who were scared of Dubai Ports Corporation handling container ships?
I don't agree with him on this, and he should consider returning to the tradition of "in loco parentis" on college campuses limiting decadence to benefit both American and foreign students.

US schools compete for Saudi students -not yet able do effective background checks on applicants
They are letting our enemies take over our nation - WITHOUT A FIGHT1
No problem. We can count on McCain, Warner and Graham to pass a law protecting us from these people.

No,we're not.
Unwilling, yes.
Unable? No.
I could have been clearer...
we are unable to support our own energy needs AT THE PRESENT TIME.
Yet of the Saudi students: But don’t expect millions of us to like it — and don’t expect us to worry whether our anger and concern seem illiberal.
And that has... nothing to do with the hysterical and irrational fear present in the reaction to the Dubai port deal
When you don't like it that's apparently illiberal, when the other guy doesn't like it that's hysterical and irrational.
Sorry, no sale. The Saudis will make damn sure those boys don't do anything that results in an American invasion and Ceegar Guy rolling up to the Meccan meteorite with a winch and a glint in his good eye. The open society guys (Dubai ports deal) are too busy making money (nttawwt) to do any serious quality control on the people they send here.
Not sure what part of the article you disagree with?
Of course more constraint of over-the-top behavior on university campi would be desirable. That unrestrained sexual acting out has been practically forced on our kids is a problem that I pray will be resolved without the pendulum swinging all the way to the hajib and burka.
I live a few blocks from a 150 year old Jesuit College that has been co-ed for 35 years. Professors who speak out about the girls' behavior are shunned.
The girls dress very provocatively and act assertively. "Hooking-up" sex is ordinary. The boys look wary and diminished in their world of such female dominance.

You left out my own senator, the wonderful (full sarcasm) Susan Collins.
Many of the current Saudi leaders have been educated in Europe and the US. It is a good thing. Also, the reality is that the worldly Saudis live two distinct lives, one in the Kingdom and the other while living in the West. The only way we are going to influence what is going on in the Kingdom is to encourage more contact with the West.
This incisive question has no legitimate answer.
As long as the DimoRats keep us dependant on Arab oil, our national security will be in much jeopardy.
I want this guy for President and I want it NOW!
Deepest sympathy.
Bump.
