11 egyptian students in custody

Has anyone heard any details about what these guys have told authorities they were doing roaming all over the US instead of reporting to their class(es) in Montana?

Hi All,

Here is a link to the 11 students from reuters: Last of missing egyptian students found

Seems as if they wanted to live here and work:

Several of the missing Egyptian students apprehended around the United States over the past week told immigration authorities they had planned to live and work in the United States, a spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said.

"Rather than seeking to attend the academic program in Montana, they actually were here to stay, get jobs, and earn money," said agency spokesman Dean Boyd.

The students did not pose "any credible or imminent threat," but the U.S. agency said it will seek to have them deported.

Have these guys been living under a rock fo rthe last 5 years? Apparently they didn't have any idea what kind of a response their actions would bring

Thanks for the link Sylvershadow.
