Saudi Student Visa (Come to the US and learn to blow shit up)

This past school year, Saudi Arabia sent 66,000 students to U.S. universities, four times the number before the 2001 attacks and the fastest-growing source of foreign students in the U.S., ahead of China, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. The Saudi influx is part of a broader increase in international students in the U.S. as American universities seek to raise tuition revenues. Some 723,277 foreign students enrolled during the 2010-2011 school year, up 32% from a decade ago.
 
66,000 Saudi students on US Student Visa's flood the US so that colleges can raise their tuition.  Hey look...here's one now:

 A Saudi national has been sentenced to life in prison for plotting attacks on the Texas home of former US president George W Bush, nuclear plants, and other targets, prosecutors have said.
... Aldawsari was lawfully admitted to the US on a student visa in 2008 and was enrolled at South Plains College near Lubbock, Texas at the time of his 2011 arrest.
 
Well...as long as those institutions of higher learning can increase their tuitions there is no problem installing a chemical engineering degree on a would-be terrorist...I guess it's just fine.
