THE USA PATRIOT ACT AND THE ENHANCED BORDER SECURITY AND VISA ENTRY REFORM ACT:
NEGATIVELY IMPACTING ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS BY DETERRING FOREIGN STUDENTS FROM STUDYING IN THE UNITED STATES
Adrian Arroyo [FNa1]
Copyright © 2003 University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law; Adrian
Summary:
This Comment illustrates how the USA PATRIOT Act and the Border
Security Bill will negatively impact graduate institutions by decreasing the number of foreign students wanting to study in the United States and increasing the cost for institutions that enroll foreign students. Part II provides an overview of immigration law and discusses recent changes in the law as a result of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Border Security Bill. [FN24] Part III presents the major criticisms of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Border Security Bill in relation to foreign students and universities. [FN25] These criticisms include concerns about amending foreign students' federal privacy rights, substantial delays in the approval of student visa applications, and the high costs associated with implementing SEVIS. Part IV proposes solutions to combat these problems while preserving the goals of the foreign student monitoring system. This Comment reaches the conclusion that the negative impact the USA PATRIOT Act and the Border Security Bill may have on graduate institutions and the U.S. economy is substantially outweighed by the fact that these Acts will help prevent future terrorism directed at the United States. Thus, Congress should continue to implement of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Border Security Bill in addition to adopting the solutions proposed in Part IV of this Comment in order to limit the negative impact on foreign students and universities.
