Biz Groups Say Congress Must Do All It Can For DACA Kids
Law360 (July 20, 2021, 8:55 PM EDT) Business, university and faith leaders have urged Congress to do whatever is needed to confer citizenship on undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and continue to face legal uncertainty through a rollercoaster of lawsuits.
The heads of over 400 groups, including the American Business Immigration Coalition and the Presidents Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, pressed Senate leaders Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to work together and pass the Dream Act of 2021, a decades-old proposal that would provide legal status to the 1.9 million undocumented immigrants who are colloquially known as Dreamers.

Like virtually all of the dozens of visas available to foreign nationals through the federal government, the F-1 visa is wrought with fraud. When Trump introduced his proposed restrictions, he said his administration was acting in the best interest of American students.
To support its claim that tighter oversight is necessary, the Trump administration gave an example of an international student who remained in the United States for 30 years while allegedly attending a dance school. Trump could have referenced many more student visa fraud incidents.
In 2019, Immigration and Customs Enforcement indicted eight foreign nationals with conspiracy to commit student visa fraud. Going back to 2001, at least one of the 9/11 terrorists also entered on an F-1 visa, while others originally entered on different categories of nonimmigrant temporary visas.
