The Obama Administration is apparently set to grant amnesty to some five million illegal aliens, but meanwhile the feds are gearing up to boot 120 poor, Christian college students back to their homelands – students who are in this country legally.
This infuriating story comes by way of Todd Starnes of Fox News, who reports that the Ohio-based Marietta Bible College, a small unaccredited school that provides Bible training mostly for impoverished international students, has had their recertification to allow foreign students to attend American schools denied by the feds.
The tale Starnes weaves is a he-said, she-said bureaucratic red-tape nightmare between the feds and school administrators. Campus officials said they’ve filed all the proper paperwork. The feds deny it.
But the bottom line is this: Why can we grant amnesty to 5 million people who flouted our laws, but not give a little leeway to 120 poor college students from Third World countries who actually went through the proper channels and are simply here studying the Bible?!
“The 34-year-old college may no longer accept international students and those who are currently enrolled in the Bible school must either transfer to another college by February or face deportation,” Starnes reports.
“They are a lovely bunch of kids who love the word of God and they love to pray,” the college’s president told Starnes. “And now the government wants … us to close.”
