...heard somebody say that we rounded up all the Iranian students that were here on student visas during the hostage crisis, and shipped them home

I read that we could only find a very small percentage of them. We need to beef up the INS and insist that they do their job!

[rolling_stone]

A large number of the students were never located and very few of them were shipped home due to them claiming political asylum, marrying USCitizens changing status etc. It was a joke.

I wonder what a Freedom of Information Act Request(FOIA) for details of the "Iranian Project" would bring.
