What a joke. If you think there's any sense to stings like this you're deluded.
If you think for a hot minute that a student "going to a University" and not going to classes but instead "working full-time" isn't an abuse of the Student Visa system, then I'm not the deluded one. It's you, projecting xenophobia on top of plain as day crime and punishment.
Take your whole garbage assertion that the US should change its culture to better match bribery and graft as the only indicators of accomplishment and use it somewhere else. I'm not buying it. Not a bit.
At the end of the day the US higher-ed system is largely pay-to-win anyway. If you just want to check the boxes so you can make it through the HR filters and move onto a decent-paying job, most schools will happily oblige. All they care about is if the check clears, there's plenty of students who surf the internet through their gen-eds and easily pass. College is what you make of it, and it's simply not that weird to see an accredited university offering a super-easy course load.
If the difference you're seeing here is that they don't hold a lecture for the kids to skip, who cares? Sounds like cost optimization to me - eliminate the tutoring and you can get your name on a piece of piece of paper and check that box even more cheaply.
If a kid uses my credit card to sign up for a porn subscription... she has technically committed fraud. But she's not a fraudster, and throwing the book at her would be seen as ridiculous.
And why bring Trump into this? I'd prefer it that my blue collar father didn't get out-competed by illegal immigrants. Unfortunately cheap, unscrupulous businessman often don't care. Nor do the illegals who purchase stolen credentials.
That doesn't mean people who come here illegally don't work their ass off. But typical American attitude "I got mine so screw you!"
This is a clear-cut case of fraud. I'll have you know I grew up in the southern US, I have many "illegal" friends I grew up with. You know what they did? Worked hard and found their own path. Hell, my "child of immigrants" mother actively denigrates Hispanics and I call her out when she does. Somehow I have a "fuck you, got mine" attitude?
If I am a fucker, you are a traitor to the country. Or, you're a foreign agent who needs to stow his opinions on our domestic policies.
