I might not fully understand this, but I don’t get why this is a good thing. They got people to come into the country legally on student visas. They didn’t get people that were already here illegally to enroll. To me it was like let’s take a problem and make a bigger problem.
Granted anyone with any sense would know this university was hinky when they enrolled, but apparently our government gave them visas knowing this was the university they planned on attending. That is screwed up. Yes, they arrested and deported some people, but how many people came in legally and then scattered in the wind?
