Saudi's Visa To The USA Up; Sleeping Better Now?

Ran across this article this morning and still can not believe it. What disturbs me is the "students." I am sure one reason is that these student's parents give big dollars to certain colleges. But to allow a nation who overcharges for oil, who is a hot bed of anti American teachings and where 19 of the 9-11 attackers originated from to send their youth here for an education? One can call it what they want, but it is wrong. The proper way to do this would be to set a limit on how many student visas are to be given. Research the students and their family. Then issue a visa.
Same with all visas in general. There is no reason to allow this many visas to a country or countries that harbor so many Islamic extremist. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Here is a line and a link

"We are pleased to see an increase in visa applicants at posts around the world, including Saudi Arabia," Rogers-Harper said, adding that this year's increase could be attributed to "a new student scholarship program funded by the government of Saudi Arabia, which encourages students to pursue their studies in the US."
