News that the Department of Homeland Security set up a fake university to nab the organizers of a scheme that allowed hundreds of immigrants to remain in or come to the United States illegally could have a chilling effect on international student enrollment in colleges and universities across the country.
"I definitely think this is going to cause further decrease in international students choosing the U.S. as where they want to continue their education," Emily Neumann, partner at the law firm Reddy & Neumann, which specializes in immigration law, says. "They are going to look to other countries that are more welcoming. Ones that don't set up sting operations with fake universities and say, 'Gotcha.'"
