Loop Hole In Student Visa System May Facilitate Terrorism

It may be very harsh to call the student visa system for foreign students a major route for terrorist to further their terror plots. It is hilarious simply because they should have known this a long time ago, certainly from 9/11.

People in general are easily predisposed to manipulation; all they need is a sparkle in order to start a war. This is exactly what this tiny piece of article is doing, or better, preaching: that Pakistani nationals are a terror threat for Britain.

In my opinion, no matter how many degrees you own, if you live in a society, which judges the book by its cover, eventually you will start doing the same. Open your eyes; we are living in the 21^st century, in a supposedly democratic society. Why is it that we still regard people coming from other religious backgrounds like non-humans? Why cannot white, black or yellow share the planet peacefully? Color and religion are not at all criteria for differentiating people; instead, nouns like serial killer, or rapist should be criteria for division between right and wrong. I think that there is plenty of room for everybody and for free movement as well. As long as a Pakistani youngster decides, that he wants a degree from Oxford, because he excels in a subject or wants to persue locum doctors jobs in this nation, I believe he has the right to be given the chance to do it.

Governments and other institutions should focus on efforts to eradicate evil from its root, instead of blaming innocent people who definitely go through unimaginable hardships by trying to fit in a world that does not accept them. They must put in place the necessary screening mechanisms so that would be terrorists do not enter into our country.

Universities must be made responsible in informing the authorities when a student stops attending class or goes missing all together. Also the border agents must check up on those students coming into the country to see if they actually enroll in the college or university they were supposed to. Far too many of them enter the country under a student visa and not enroll anywhere. If this is the case they should be made to leave the country and return to their homeland.
