In response to:ACLU discusses Patriot Act’s impacts on students
“One of them had falsified information on his visa, and the FBI found out.”
Well what was falsified (somehow this seems important), and doesn’t it seem logical that if someone falsifies information on a visa, that there may be some consequences? For instance, how would U react if a student had registered for school, and this student falsified his name, address, previous schools attended, and previous grades received? Or what if you were applying for a new job? What if you stated to your new employer that you had a college degree, but this was false information? If your employer found out, you just may not have a source of income tomorrow. It is quite simple, this student is lucky he has a source of education today.
Sure, the Patriot Act leaves room for abuse, but right now I believe it is working in our favor. The ACLU does not have our best interest at heart, and I dare anyone to challenge this.
