The government is deporting students with expired student visas

That's sad and crazy

No, the government is doing the correct way of getting rid of students living in the country illegally. The students visas has a certain time frame to study in the USA, and once that time has expired they are obligated to leave the country.

Simple rules we all need to follow

@anythingoes477

If those students are so smart, why didn’t they renew their visas like other people. Or were they doing something that they knew was wrong.
@MarthannBann888 They definitely should have renewed their visas. I agree. Its not optional..........its a requirement to renew as long as they are students. But kids are kids and I think you know most are not known for making great decisions. That is NOT an excuse........their visas should be kept current. But simply deporting them....even with all of the above said...........without due process.....is a violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution................like it or not. The language in both amendments says clearly.........."NO PERSON shall be denied due process".

So negligent in renewing a student visa or not............once on U.S. soil the Constitution says they are to be given due process. To overlook that is true trumper.............."the Constitution don't matter because......."

It DOES matter.

And it also matters that in almost every case we are seeing in the news............those visas were not in need of renewal. Trump is cancelling them before they expire...............which is illegal and unconstitutional. On U.S. soil even non-U.S. citizens have First Amendments right to freedom of speech. However if that freedom of speech is deemed by Trump's boot lickers as being used to say "bad things" (the truth) about Orange Jesus........those visas are being revoked BEFORE they expire. That voids your point that the kids are at fault for not renewing them.

True as far as it goes. BUT.

The tRump admin has been cancelling many valid student visas. It's not the fault of the student when tRump cancels the visa.

Trump cancels hundreds of student visas, forcing rapid departures April 11

DENVER ‒ The Trump administration has revoked hundreds of international student visas across the country, setting off a desperate scramble for them to leave the United States within days.

Universities have reported some students being forced to leave immediately, in many cases after discovering their visas were canceled in the federal Student Exchange and Visitor Information System or via an unexpected text or email. Multiple universities contacted by the USA TODAY Network regarding the visa cancellations declined to discuss specifics, citing student confidentiality.

"The federal government has been taking steps to terminate the legal status of international students with expired visas. Some colleges have advised students to leave the country to avoid the risk of being detained or deported.

However, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that the government could not take steps to detain or revoke the visa of a University of Wisconsin-Madison gradate student1. The process of revoking a visa is handled by the State Department."

(source unclear..possibly Wikipedia)

"At Minnesota State University in Mankato, President Edward Inch told the campus Wednesday that visas had been revoked for five international students for unclear reasons.

He said school officials learned about the revocations when they ran a status check in a database of international students after the detention of a Turkish student at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The State Department said the detention was related to a drunken driving conviction."

Reading individual case files, each revoked student visa seems to stem from an infraction of the law. These infractions range from attempting to bring animal embryos through customs, (when this is illegal), to drunk driving, to 300 revocations for radical activism on behalf of Hamas.

No it is the law. America first. We owe foreign students nothing. We are generous to allow them to come into our universities in the first place.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
On the face of it that seems fair. I would expect that in my own country as long as 'due process' is adhered to. The Law is what it is until changed by Law Makers. Your bald statement gives nothing for anyone to argue against.

Once the visa expires that person can no longer live in this country and is supposed to go home. There is nothing sad or crazy about the enforcement of the law. More importantly, those people knew the law, agreed to it, and tried to stay illegally beyond their visas anyway.
jeancolby · 31-35, F
@TexChik Exactly right.
carpediem · 61-69, M
Good news. Thanks for the info

Being in the United States on a visa is a privilege not an entitlement

Those who have taken advantage, and either have overstayed, or haven’t renewed their visa need to be deported. Especially those who are defending terrorist activity.
carpediem · 61-69, M
@missyann 100% agree
AmericanAvenger · 56-60, M
That is the law. Being in America is not something to be taken for granted. We need to make the rest of the world know that.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
As they are supposed to
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
Yeah I don't know either
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@WowwGirl it works the same. If you need to stay longer you extend legally. If you let it expire you are in violation.
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@MasterLee I don't see my ass doing or communicating well in most countries. So? I could have screwed up too maybe in their position.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Expired=illegal
We usually get the best of other countries

If their student visas are expired, they are no longer here legally.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
If the visa is expired, why are they here?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
We know, Federal law does not apply to illegal aliens, right?
pancakeslam · 46-50, M
Yeah but they're not entitled to be here when their visa is expired AND they're making trouble.
Mudkip · 31-35, M
Does the word expired mean anything to you? Totally absurd.
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@GerOttman I just feel bad for some
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
Simply put
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@Mudkip me too
But on the bright side.........not all students. Trump really hates the ones from countries that don't have pure white skin.
