Oh those poor innocent foreigners.

Studying in the U.S. is a privilege, and if they can't enjoy it for whatever reason, tough.

yep,I agree, hey, didn't some of the 09/11 bombers have student visa? We should screen all foreign students and enforce limits after they graduate

SALT LAKE TRIBUNE: "HATCH'S EFFORTS FOR CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANTS PRAISED" By Shinika A. Sykes (July 18, 2003)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "High school counselors and college admissions officers gathering in Salt Lake City expressed support Thursday for proposed federal legislation sponsored by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch that would allow states to grant in-state college tuition rates to children of undocumented immigrants.
    The Dream Act would repeal a section of the 1996 immigration reform law that prohibits states from considering students whose parents are undocumented as residents of the state in order to receive in-state tuition rates.
    Some 75 members of the National Association for College Admission Counseling are meeting at the Little America Hotel through Sunday. The NACAC's membership is made up of more than 20,000 high school guidance counselors and college admission officers.
    "The Dream Act will provide full access to higher education for young immigrant students who have made high academic performance a part of their effort to achieve the American dream," said Joyce Smith, NACAC executive director.
    Hatch's spokeswoman said the senator plans to reintroduce the measure in the 108th Congress."
   
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In 2002, Utah legislators passed a law that granted in-state tuition to children of undocumented immigrants who have completed at least three years in Utah high schools. After the Utah measure passed, a legal opinion said Utah schools could begin granting the tuition break even if the federal law had not been repealed."

"These students are anxious and angry with us ... and wow, it's killing us"

This all about GREED. Not only do these selfish pricks NOT care about the foreign students, they care even LESS about the security of the United States. Also keep in mind that at ALL taxpayer supported universities (state), student tuition only pays for a small portion of the operating costs. The local taxpayers foot the remainder of the bill.

These same greedy traitors are also the biggest supporters of criminal alien's attending "their" universities at the same cost as in-state kids of taxpayers. Ooops, I forgot they are really just "undocumented workers".

Afterall, the so-called "American" corporations need their future offshored employees well educated.

""We were just beginning to test the program in July 2001, and then 9-11 hit," said Catheryn Cotton, director of the International Office at Duke University, which was part of the SEVIS pilot program. "The new SEVIS system was written and pushed through so quickly that a lot of the kinks we worked out worked their way back into the system." "

Uh huh, sure they were! Somebody already had the heads up about 9-11. Isn't it such a coincidence how this was being tested at about the same time the Patriotic Act was being implemented. Things like this make one go hmmmmmm.

Michael Brzezinski, director of the international students office at Purdue University, said that last summer 60 students at the Indiana school were denied visas or got them late, several for minor technical reasons. He said that until SEVIS is made more efficient, the trend will likely continue.

They should try applying for a gun permit in Massachusetts. Talk about delays and body cavity searches!! And I am a citizen for crying out loud!! My advice, if it means enought to you, apply early and beat the rush!

"There has been some damage done," he said. "I am aware of at least two government programs, in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, that are now sending their students to other countries."

I cannot find a single thing wrong with that. Until Saudi Arabia reigns in their terrorist Wahabbi mullahs, they can all go to the U. of France. Better to be safe than sorry (the lesson of 9/11).
