Students signing up for fake visa mill cry foul when they get caught in the sting

For foreign-born students desperate to stay in the United States, the University of Northern New Jersey seemed like the perfect solution: They did not have to go to class, but they could get coveted student visas and still work at their dream jobs.
They just needed to pay a broker anywhere from $3,000 to $12,000. Over the last three and a half years, more than a thousand agreed.
That was their mistake.
...
Twenty-five students were listed as anonymous co-conspirators, but officials say all of them knew they were committing fraud by not going to class. Within days, 1,076 of them were ordered to appear in immigration court, facing deportation or even a lifetime ban from the United States.
....
The students enrolled at the University of Northern New Jersey had all come to the United States legally and had earned degrees from schools including the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan and Fordham.
...

So people that couldn't get visas to legally stay and work in the US are now crying foul because they tried to get around the system and got caught. I find it rather incredulous that they didn't know that something was wrong with what they were doing considering that many had real degrees from real US universities. I'll be breaking out my tiny violin for them.

I don't doubt that mode exists and more or may not be bigger. It's just amusing when people try to cry foul when they get caught committing immigration fraud.

They all need to sneak in from Mexico and then yell "sooooo raaaaaaccccciiiisssssssstttttt" if they are caught. Worked for millions and millions of ILLEGALS so far.

As you were told before the sponsoring spouse can turn in the person as they're responsible for the person they brought over via the immigration process. They also during the first two years have prove to the immigration department it's not a marriage of convenience.

Undocumented Immigrants are not a problem!

Obama said so and if you disagree you are a racist piece of shit!

Student visa needs to change. If you graduate with a BS degree they should be eligible for a green card. At the very least make it an option for grad students. Crazy that we don't try to keep them here.

maybe for specific sectors.
Problem is we've got a lot of college graduates with useless degrees and a sense of entitlement.

I wouldn't go that far, as you don't want to encourage diploma mills becoming green-card mills.

But if I remember correctly, the overall immigration reform packages that have been pushed (and failed) in recent years included provisions that aimed to help keep PhDs here after they graduated.
