How about this: The universities become responsible for the "students" who are here on Student Visas. If the student commits any single criminal act, the University loses X number of dollars in Federal Grant money. If the student commits a terrorist act, the school loses the right to provide services to foreign nationals. After all, their lobby efforts for the sake of a buck is causing a security risk. Furthermore, the schools are held financially accountable for expired Student Visas.

OK. I just read the list you posted and see the point you were making. It appears that tourist visas or business visas appear to be a bigger problem than student visas. This would cause me to have to rethink everything. A question though: How long does a tourist visa last and are there any procedures in place to insure that somebody who has entered the country on one has left? I know that some countries make you pay an exit fee. This would be a nice way to cover the cost.
