Two Florida women have been arrested last Wednesday who are alleged with running a student visa fraud ring. The defendants are charge with misleading the US government while granting student visas to over 200 overseas nationals, who were actually not students. The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida and special agent in charge for ICE Office of Investigations, Miami Field Office reported the case on Thursday.
According to the panel formed for the case, the foreign nationals who had been issued the U.S. student visas were falsely enrolled in the Florida Language Institute, 947 SW 87th Avenue. Post 9/11 attacks, it is a major issue for the nation, since many terrorists involved in the terror attack were holding students visas, but they all misused the visas. It was also reported that some attackers, including the pilot Hani Hanjour entered the U.S. as a student for language courses, but he never attended any class.
The 9/11 attacks had spread terror to such an extent that immigration officials have become very cautious and started monitoring schools that enroll overseas students as to whether they are attending their courses or not. However, the Miami case does not necessarily have to do with terror activity, but of illegal immigration.
The accused Lydia Menocal and Ofelia Macia, the school’s employees, however, defended themselves that the petitions that were signed by them were actual visa requests for the students. The investigators are trying their best to find what the foreign nationals with student visas were actually doing in the U.S.!

The American Bar System has finally knocked the Congress to revamp the present system for immigration. The alternative should have new and independent courts for the cases pertaining to immigration. This move came about after much pleas and requests from the immigration attorneys and judges. According to the immigration lawyers, the courts in the United States is stumbling upon the weights of the pending cases which tends to rise in its numbers at all times.
During a semiannual meeting in Florida, the lawyers’ organization agreed as part of the vote on a recommendation for a completely independent system of court which is similar to the tax deciding federal courts. The main reason behind such a vote is the constant rise in the number of cases dealing with illegal immigration. The condition of the courts was discussed extensively in a report which was brought out recently.
It has to be noted here that the immigration courts in questions are not at all similar to what it is presumed to be. These courts are not under the federal judiciary and instead are a subsidy of the Department of Justice. The judges conducting are not the actual judges here. They are the employees of the attorney general.
Since 2006, the issue of legalizing all the illegal immigrants has been much talked about. In the meanwhile, the issue of courts has been out of focus. These courts have now become clogged with the entire backlog to such an extent that only an explosion would give it some space to breathe.
According to the 2008 Bar Association Report, around 378,582 immigrants were detained by the officials of the Homeland Security. Off these, more than 358,000 were deported back to their home country. The case was similar last year as well with a total of two hundred and thirty one judges conducted more than 300,000 cases which is thrice the usual load of work for a federal district judge. It is but obvious that these judges are being tested beyond their patience which would simply leave them frustrated and overworked.
Additionally, the asylum cases have made the situation even more complex. The main reason is the fear of violence in the minds of the immigrants after they go back. To this respect, the report stated that there is an increase in the number of immigrants waiting for their turn to come about for a hearing. This has led to the increase in the number of appeals for the decisions made.
All in all, actual immigration reforms are yet to be seen being executed by the Obama administration.
