And it's also preposterous that a blue-eyed blonde could claim to be 1/32nd Cherokee, on her say-so alone, and be hired as Harvard's first Native American female prof, and touted as such.
But it happened, did it not?
This is a silly theory. I have worked with many university students from foreign countries. The admissions office cannot just "let them in" if students merely "say" they were born abroad.
Foreign students must have a visa stamped in their non-U.S. passport, as well as an I-20 form issued by the university, which expires when the student graduates or goes back to his/her country. Universities must comply with tough immigration laws when admitting foreign students, and the students themselves have to pay fees and fill out a lot of forms. There would be a long paper trail of documents that would have been checked carefully during the admission process.
I doubt that a lazy student like Barack would put in all that effort just to get admitted to university as a foreign student. In addition, he would have to show official transcripts from a school in his "home" country. I don't think an 18 year old Obama could pull it off.
By the way, what "benefits" do foreign students get? To most universities, these students are cash cows to be exploited. They usually have to pay full, non-resident tuition, insurance and other fees to the universities. They can't get government loans and have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get admitted.
Barack Obama is master of deception; however, the idea that he could enroll in a university as a foreign student by merely stating that he was born abroad is preposterous.

Barry had all those documents for Indonesia, we’re talking about an era when such paperwork was three-decades less developed, and colleges often admit students from exotic countries with lesser qualifications just so they can expand the number of nations they can boast their student body to represent.
Did Kenya have scholarships for Kenyans to attend US universities?
