The system that lets foreigners enter the United States on student visas often becomes a visa-for-sale operation that has allowed terrorists to enter the country, according to a new study from a Harvard professor.

"In a very critical sense, the U.S. has delegated its role in selecting immigrants to thousands of institutions whose incentives do not coincide with the national interest," said George J. Borjas of his analysis of the public costs and benefits of foreign students at American schools.

Look at what they tried to slip through:

Also yesterday, senators tried but failed to act quickly on a bill that would allow states to charge some illegal immigrants in-state tuition rates and allow illegal immigrant students to adjust their legal status.

Good for Byrd for once. It looks like all the others are bought out completely.

So pay a "school" some money, and you get a visa. What a scam! Completely corrupt. I suspect a lot of the backing comes from "trucking" and related schools who'll use this device to get cheap part time labor - at our expense.

"ideology masquerading as analysis"

Yeah, right. How about "short term profits for a few masquerading as analysis."

Perhaps, but I tend to think that Trojan Horse is more universally and instantly understood.

Anyway, Arabia is also famous for its horses.

"Radical Islam is an insane murder cult, and 'moderate' Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West."

 Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Republican and sponsor of the bill, said when it passed committee last week that the measure would help those children who were brought here to grow up illegally "through no act of their own."      

"They grow up to be contributors to society, working to better themselves and provide for their families. But the law denies them any chance, no matter what their individual accomplishments, to become lawful permanent residents," he said.      

But immigration-reform groups say the bill is an insult to those who have followed the law.     

"Illegal alien applicants would not only get green cards, in-state tuition and financial aid, but they'd be moved to the front of the line, ahead of people who've been waiting for years to come to the U.S. legally," said Dave Ray, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform."It once again teaches people that those who don't play by the rules can get rewarded. What kind of lesson is that for students?"

Quite frankly, the hell with Orrin Hatch and any Republican who thinks like he does.

And he has the gall to wonder what happened to the rule of law during Impeachment? Illegals are just like Clinton, cutting every corner they think they can get away with. And Republicans who want to pander to Latinos by making excuses for Illegals are no better.

"Hey Orrin, which laws can I ignore? Which laws are optional, and which ones are mandatory"

How about the Federal Election Laws? Can I get a few stacks of Utah absentee ballots?

It's surreal - the federal government is about to default on the national debt, the stock market is crashing, state and local governments are sinking further into a fiscal sinkhole and Booby Hatch wants us to subsidize illegal aliens.
