SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON – Confirmation that the students from Kazakhstan linked to the Boston bombers and arrested last week are living in the U.S. on expired or invalid student visas has exposed an immigration problem that’s festered for years.
Students flock to the U.S. from around the world. But when their visas expire, many simply stay.”
SNIPPET: “According to the Migration Policy Institute, about 40 percent of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the country came here with valid visas — of all kinds — but ended up staying after their passes expired.
Under the broad umbrella of these 4.5 million visa overstays, it is not known exactly how many are students.
However, there are currently around 10,000 accredited U.S. schools, colleges and universities that accept foreign students, according to the Government Accountability Office.”
