They should be gone anyway, if this pandemic is a real threat, which it isn't. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 11/07/2020 11:09:19 PM

Many universities, possessing basic understanding of viral transmission, have shifted all or most of their classes entirely online for the Fall, since there is no evidence of the coronavirus abating.

For the Spring semester ICE had made an exemption to its typical rule that students on non-immigrant visas cannot take <I>all</I> their classes online. This exemption has now been reversed:


Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States. The U.S. Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programs that are fully online for the fall semester nor will U.S. Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States. Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction to remain in lawful status. If not, they may face immigration consequences including, but not limited to, the initiation of removal proceedings.

The stupidity of this government knows no bounds.


Why is this stupid? You WANT something, so not doing what you want is stupid? Your moronic assumption is that the government gives a shit about foreigners who are trying to appropriate our education. Now they might be right or wrong to have that opinion or agenda, but they're only being stupid if they are doing something that will not serve THEIR agenda. You're simply making the, again, moronic assumption that ICE and ICE personnel are prioritizing the educations of foreigners. They are not. Their priority is controlling the movement of people and goods into the country. The priorities of the individual employees of ICE are much like yours and everyone else's - get paid for doing the least work possible, and the more foreigners they get out of the country, the less work there is for them to do, the more files they can close.
