    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 9 12:39:07 2022
    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Jon Feere on whether
    Donald Trump's Save America PAC will endorse Betsy DeVos and Ken
    Cuccinelli: https://cis.org/Feere/ICE-Must-Investigate-Columbia-Universitys-Foreign-Student-Program-Light-Fraud-Allegations>
    | Assuming that these allegations are accurate, they raise serious
    | questions about how widespread fraud of this nature is within the
    | schools SEVP has certified. If this is occurring in the Ivy League
    | then it's hard not to imagine it happening at obscure, low-ranked,
    | poorly managed schools that have received SEVP's blessing. Less
    | notable schools with smaller numbers of foreign students are less
    | likely to be on the radar of an HSI agent simply as a matter of
    | resources. Of course, SEVP has the ability to raise fees to hire as
    | many agents as needed to provide proper oversight. In fact, a
    | regulation to raise SEVP fees that would, among other things, result
    | in the hiring of HSI special agents who could ensure compliance with
    | the SEVP regulation was initiated under the Trump administration,
    | but SEVP killed that effort (or didn't fight hard enough to defend
    | it) and revoked the draft regulation within weeks of the Biden
    | administration taking over. (See "Adjusting Program Fees for the
    | Student and Exchange Visitor Program", here.) Leadership within
    | SEVP, HSI, or the Biden administration are apparently satisfied with
    | the fraud under their watch and don't think it's important to
    | increase enforcement and oversight despite the fact that the foreign
    | student program has grown rapidly.

    Feere ran out of column inches to report on why Trump slow-walked John
    Miano's lawsuit to end the illegal OPT component of the Cheap Labor
    Lobby and Big .EDU's F-1 to OPT to H-1B scab worker import pipeline.
