US Authorities GPS Tagging Duped Indian Students

tanveer1979 writes "Indian students duped by Tri-Valley University in California have been fitted with GPS devices by US immigration authorities. Scores of Indian students were caught in a scam where the university violated immigration norms and illegally got the students F1 visa and immigration status. To keep a track on the movements of the students, the authorities have fitted them with GPS devices. This is spiraling into a major diplomatic row between India and the USA, with the former calling the practice inhuman and unwanted."

Sadly, this level of common sense will never take hold in the US.

For all the fact that the US is overwhelmingly screaming for the deportation of illegals - no matter whether they come from china, india, mexico, canada, guatemala, somewhere in europe or africa - a certain political party sees illegals as their next voting bloc.

My city has a major problem with guatemalan illegals - specifically, they have organized into very successful burglary rings that the police are often afraid to tackle because they're hauling semiautomatic weaponry.

It's not about "mexicans", it's not about race... it's about crime.
