Feds Lose Track of Thousands of Foreigners on Student Visas Who Could ‘Do Us Harm’

Feel safer with these assclowns in charge?

From Breitbart.

According to an ABC News investigation, “58,000 students overstayed their visas in the past year. Of those, 6,000 were referred to agents for follow-up because they were determined to be of heightened concern.” ABC found that “the number of foreign nationals obtaining visas to study in the U.S. has grown from 662,966 in 2003 to more than 1.2 million in 2012.”

Peter Edge, “the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official who oversees investigations into visa violators,” told ABC News that some of the foreign nationals “could be here to do us harm” and his “greatest concern is that they could be doing anything.”

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) told ABC News that foreigners with student visas just “get the visas and they disappear.” He “said since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, 26 student visa holders have been arrested in the U.S. on terror-related charges.” Some of the terrorists involved in the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center attack had overstayed their student visas, but immigration officials continue to “grant schools certification to accept overseas applicants even if the schools lack accreditation, state certification, or any obvious measure of academic rigor.”

For instance, there are “more than 9,000 schools on the government approved list,” and many of the for-profit schools may be in the business of profiting off of visas.

“We know we have a lot of non-accredited universities that are using this system to bring people in, collect money, and not educate them at all,” Coburn told ABC News. “To me, it’s a mess.”

No Senator, it’s a clusterfuck.

……Chris Crane, head of the ICE officers’ association, and Ken Palinkas, President of the USCIS agents’ association, have both repeatedly emphasized the federal government’s lax enforcement of its immigration laws, especially when it comes to visa overstays. Palinkas wrote last year that “large swaths” of the country’s immigration laws “are not effectively enforced for legal immigrants and visa holders” and Crane has testified that ICE lacks the resources and, as a result, “in most cases immigration agents cannot arrest persons solely because they have entered the United States with a visa and then overstayed that visa and failed to return to their country.”

The Feds have also ignored the multitude of muzzie terrorists and organizations operating in America, as well as the millions of illegals, which received an open invitation from Obama to flood into the country.

We are screwed.
