Once again an incident has taken place which shows that Indians have been termed as the inferior class in the US.
As the fate of Indian students duped by a 'sham' American university in California hangs in the balance, recent reports have suggested that close to 100 Indian students have been radio tagged by the American police.
Really disappointed to see the behavior shown by US towards Indians.

This is happens if you are second class citizens in America. This won't have never happened in India

I doubt that we have radio collars for this kinda stuff.

But what US is doing is insulting to say the least.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

Not to defend their idea of 'precautions' but would you really sympathize people who deliberately exploit loopholes in a legal system or are ignorant enough to not even do the slightest bit of research before hopping off towards a university that would admit them? The whole 'US education' scene in Hyd is pretty comical. Wouldn't matter in a perfect world but prejudice built over their such underhand attempts is easily directed at the country as a whole and makes things worse for the legit applicants.

So true :) Objectively speaking i.e

The immigration officials are just doing their job.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

^^ Exactly my thoughts. When our countrymen are trying to go to other countries for every damn thing at first given oppertunity and by hook or crook as if our own country is not good enough, it naturally follows that they too think of us as inferior beings. Immigration fraud is pretty common for our countymen to the point that many people do not even look at it as anything more than routine process. Just look at any of those numerous indian hr agencies and how much documentation they fake and how naturally our people put up with it so they can get to us and you would quickly understand why they are doing what they are doing. There is nothing wrong in being cautious and personally I think they are being very generous in still allowing them freedom on the country.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

When this same tagged group of students were illegally working and residing in the country on incorrect status VISA then there was no issue. I think the country is just being cautious -- and at least giving them freedom of movement. And the group saying that they were unaware of this scam and thought it to be all right, is donkey sh$$. Heck if it happens to some village bumpkin (uneducated / non exposed) it makes sense. Not to educated people who have completed a minimal 10+2 level. Any one going to the US of A knows it crystal clear in his/her head that VISA status / work permits are strict and non bendable. They can not be adjusted and played around with. Heck the immigration officials ask such weird questions upon port of entry -- is that enough to get it in their sorry brains.

They might have to be deported and it would have been painful for the US immigration if they ran away (which they will most likely attempt). Its pretty cool that they got away with wearing the GPS collar instead of being held in some sort of detention facility.

Nice try playing the race card. Very classy. Keep it up.:thumb:
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

These supposedly innocent students who were supposedly duped by the sham college, were actually living and working in different parts of US while still being listed as living in California! :P
Now that ain't very innocent, now is it? :tongue:
Duped, eh? :P

I seriously can't believe that these students didn't know about the immigration status.
And the very nature of the college allowing students such illegal freedom like absconding gives a clear picture about its standard, which I'm very sure our innocent students knew everything about!

Wasn't there a movie on similar lines, not immigration but a fake college...

Sure no sympathy to the students, but i think the radio tag is a little too much...

You're missing the point, if not for the radio tag they would be in JAIL until they are deported. Which do you think is the better option?

Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

Don't know if they still do it, but Singapore used to cane those who overstayed their visas or committed other immigration fraud. In fact, I remember a big board in the old Chennai international terminal which warned of such action and pointing out that the caning would produce welts or some such. Frankly, such punishment is sorely needed in this country where everyone thinks he or she is the law (e.g. on the roads) but unfortunately we are a democracy and tolerate the indefensible. As for the radio-collar, it is standard practice in the U.S. for those with court appearances scheduled and there's reason to think that they will flee. It is unobtrusive and saves the legal system money by not putting them in jail.

Coming back to this case, I used to live in the area and know that Tri-Valley University is actually a community college where people who work or cannot afford the big colleges go to brush up their technical knowledge or for evening classes etc.. Any local Indian engineering college will probably give a similar if not better education for a fraction of the cost, so it's obvious that something illegal was going on. It is very well known that visa abuse is rampant in parts of the U.S., especially amongst Andhraites. In fact, there was one guy who ran an Indian restaurant who is serving multiple life sentences because he used to bring over women and house them in the apartment complex he owned and use them as sex slaves. I wouldn't be surprised if this scam was used to supply the local Indian businesses with "cheap" labor.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

Wow, this is a knee jerk reaction.

They were in the country illegally. (Whether they were scammed or were the scammers is a different issue.)

In any country, those are grounds for arrest. This radio tag is an equivalent of bail/house arrest. Many criminals here who are on parole or bail are also on radio tags.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

so the radio tag is actually a good thing instead of stuffing them up in the jail damn the media allways polarising these kinda stuff

Today's TOI is carrying a similar article. Groan fest.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

we should have these radio tags in our nation as well to tag the illegal immigrants who come over to our nation and create security problems.
 
Re: Indian Students been treated as Animals in the US

Just because they are Indians, we can't support them.. If I see the matter correctly, mostly they are party to this university scam.. There might be very few genuine cases, for those I feel bad.. But it could have been worse for them instead of having to wear the tags!
