'Gaping Hole' Into U.S. For ISIS: Foreign-Student Visas
Congressman: 58,000 have overstayed time, including 6,000 who can’t be found

WASHINGTON – As U.S. security officials worry about jihadist fighters with U.S. passports returning to the United States to conduct terrorist attacks, there also is mounting concern over foreign students who have overstayed their student visas, according to Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.
Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., said not only have 58,000 foreign students overstayed their special visas, but more than 6,000 of them cannot be located.
“These gaps in the student visa system pose serious security threats to the United States and exploit the laws that allow for legitimate academic and cultural visitors, which I support,” Bilirakis said.
He pointed out that some 4,000 foreign fighters, with some 300 coming from the U.S., are of college age. Bilirakis’ concern is that some of those fighters could be from the ranks of the missing 6,000 and others from the 58,000 who have overstayed their visas.
However, the Department of Homeland Security, which has jurisdiction over immigration, visas and customs, has not followed up on locating the students.
“The threat is real,” Bilirakis said. “Some of the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center entered the country through the student visa program.”

Bilirakis also revealed that since Sept. 11, some 26 student visa holders have been arrested on terror-related charges.
