Thousands of Saudis were flown out of US right after 9/11 while no one else was flying.
Saudis were captured after Boston bombing as persons of interest and then released and flown back to Saudi.
It is good to be Saudi.
Not defending Saudi’s - but how many illegals skip out on their criminal court date?
Check the flight schools.
I can only say, as a US citizen, that I wish I had the confidence that my government would work that hard for me if I got in trouble overseas. Trump’s a lot better than Obama in this regard. Under Barack, I had the definite impression that he could care less if a US citizen got in trouble overseas. He was too eager to take the other country’s part, especially if it was one of the 57 States.
O.K. I get it. It seems the Saudi government has helped/may be helping Saudi nationals in the U.S. skip U.S. court dates and get out the country.
But a more complete report would see what nationals of any other countries are achieving the same sort of thing, and among them where does it seem they get assistance from their home country in skipping U.S. courts.
I think it is most likely not just a “Saudi” problem.
Saudi students have been educated in American universities since....... forever.
I know of one who was at UCLA and was included in the round up at the time Sirhansirhan killed Bobby Kennedy. After being briefly detained, they were released.
Over the years, Saudi’s have learned that the maximum bang for the educational buck comes from small state universities. They eschew the large state party universities seen as dens of iniquity.
To tar Saudi students with the Chinese spy brush is just plain bigotry
President Trump can solve this very directly and quickly. Tell Saudis to return all of these people with 24 hours, else cancel all visas of any type.
Um, I think that skipping bail isn’t a problem limited to Saudi’s. Ever seen Dog the bounty hunter?
After reading that article two days ago, I posted a comment about Islam and the right to rape infidel women. The comment was gone in 3 minutes.
