    Fault University
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the controversy surrounding Tri-Valley University and the detention of its students. Key points include the debate over whether students should be held accountable for enrolling in a questionable institution and whether the U.S. consulate shares responsibility for issuing visas. Concerns are raised about the legality and ethics of detaining students with ankle bracelets, which allow them some freedom while awaiting deportation. The primary issue is that many students allegedly did not fulfill visa requirements, as the university was deemed fraudulent, raising questions about where they could attend classes. Some participants argue that students should have done more research before enrolling, while others express sympathy for their situation, preferring alternatives to detention. The conversation highlights the complexities of immigration law and the consequences of attending a non-viable educational institution.

Is it the students' fault for enrolling to the university? Should the American consulate be blamed for issuing the visas?

And why are the students detained with ankle bracelets? Is this U.S. law?

It doesn't look like all the facts are known yet?
 
It's a scam. Neither of these articles talk about finding any of the students, but an ankle bracelet allows them to go about their daily life, the other option would be incarceration. Which would you prefer?

I would certainly prefer they be sent back to their respective home countries or at least transferred to another university, but not treated the way they are.

It seems they are being held because they did not meet the requirement of their visas which is that they are to enroll for/attend full time classes on campus. If the university is bogus, where are they supposed to attend classes?

And how does one go about a "daily life" with an anklet?

You are making absolutely no sense at all. So, you would prefer they were locked in jail until they're deported? Just being tracked is worse than jail to you?

Why is this America's fault or burden? Those people needed to do their research. If it sounded to good to be true, well...

Plus, the investigation showed that the people that got fake student visas more than likely knew they were fake. No school, no classes. Ya think??

They came here under false pretenses, so, they'll be deported, no criminal charges, just go back home. How fairer than that can you get?

You are making no sense. Thread closed.
