According to a Fox News story, 11 Egyptian foreign exchange students have gone 'missing' when they failed to show up for classes at Montana State University.

"The men, who range in age from 18 to 22, were scheduled to attend a month-long program in U.S. history and culture, plus English language instruction, at Montana State University along with six other students. The group flew from Cairo and arrived in the U.S. on July 29. All entered the U.S. legally, but officials said the no-shows violated the terms of their visas and that the government would likely send them home once they turn up."

The politically correct crowd is quick to point out that the FBI states the men are not suspected of any illicit activity.

However:

"The government tightened the student visa process after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks when it learned that four of the hijackers had entered the country on foreign student visas."

If they are not involved in any "illicit activity" then they should simply be deported. It's that easy. ANYONE who violates the terms of their Visa in a foreign country should be deported.

Currently, Major Man is here in Canada and we're applying for his Permanent Residence status. He lives under certain restrictions and we abide by them strictly. Do you think it's been easy for us to have him basically unemployed for a YEAR while we wait for the paperwork to be processed? Not in this booming city it's not. Not when gas prices are $1.15 per litre. Not when I'm on Maternity leave.

But we follow the rules. So if these gentlemen simply cannot follow the rules then they need to be found and sent home PDQ.
