Trump Administration Cracks Down on Student Visa Overstays

Last week U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) changed how it calculates unlawful presence for students and exchange visitors in F, J, and M nonimmigrant status who overstay a visa. Under a new memorandum, they will begin to accumulate "unlawful presence" days starting on the date their F, J, or M immigrant status expires. Under the old policy, they started accruing unlawful presence on the day USCIS discovered the violation.

Those who have accrued more than 180 days of unlawful presence during a single stay may be subject to a three-year or 10-year ban on readmission. Those who have accrued more than one year of unlawful presence, whether in a single stay or multiple stays, are permanently inadmissible if they attempt to reenter without being admitted or paroled.

VISA overstays are actually a much bigger problem than border jumping.  They need to use biometrics here, as well.

Are you suggesting that students that overstay their visas are more dangerous than criminals like MS13 or of the many jihadists from Pakistan or other Arab countries that have crossed our border?

No.  There are more people here who overstay their visas than people who jump the border.  So it's good the Administration is looking at them more closely.

One of the September 11th, 2001 hijackers got in on a student visa.

Being here illegally is still being here illegally.

The means on how you came into being here illegally should not make it any less of an offense.

Since we know how many people overstay visas and do not know how many jump the border, I daresay that statistic is a WAG.

QFT. I don't care which illegals they target as long as they're targeting someone.
