Fake university to lure undocumented immigrants

I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that the Obama administration began, and the Trump administration escalated, the creation of a fake university as a strategy to lure undocumented immigrants seeking study visas to stay in the U.S. The article linked here indicates that many of the 21 indictments involved recruiters and consultants "serving" international students, an objective I enthusiastically endorse, it seems that the fake university strategy could very well have negatively impacted serious international students and soured them on the possibility of admission to U.S. universities.

India's Ministry of External Affairs issued a protest about the way prospective Indian students are being treated as a result of the sting. The concern is that students who were duped into enrolling should be treated differently than those who duped them.
