From CBS:Five U.S. senators are calling for a federal crackdown on what they say are phony colleges handing out student visas to potential criminals and terrorists.
Sens. Diane Feinstein of California, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Jon Tester of Montana, Bill Nelson of Florida and Charles Schumer of New York say the colleges are fronts for people who pay to illegally enter the United States.
The Democrats are calling on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Homeland Security to share information that could help identify the fake colleges.
The senators note several of the Sept. 11 terrorists entered the United States on student visas. They also cite recent incidents in California and in Florida where schools have been accused of being involved in the illegal visa scheme.
The senators will ask the federal departments to determine “high-risk factors” within 90 days and conduct site visits at schools that show a high risk factor through data — or the lack of data — that legitimate schools must provide to the federal government. The senators also seek stiffer penalties for “sham universities” that engage in student visa fraud.

Up Chuck is always finding causes to justify his job. Most of these causes have nothing to do with the federal government or his position. They are largely petty. Just like he is.
The job is what you make of it. If he doesn't say these things, who does?

And when "Chucky Schmucky" and the Fabulous Four are finished there, they can crackdown on the phony public schools handing out diplomas to potential criminals and future machine voters.
Why is for profit phony? Most of you didn't go to for profit clleges, but they were degree mills anyway.
I'm confused as to why anyone is against investigating phony colleges, especially when they are running visa scams which can pose a national security threat. Or is this how you and your relatives got in to the country?

Because he (Schumer) is a Democrat. If some stonehead like Palin-King-Romney said the same, they'd be praised as "patriots".
you are absolutely correct,but in the meantime another DEM. bites the dust.
leave the statue in boro hall ,queens, alone.
He's a schumck and a putz because he won't support deporting illegals who have actually committed crimes. Regarding bogus student visa, yhere's already three departments of the Obama administration for he can hold hearings for screwing this up: State, Education, and Homeland Security. So Chuck, schedule the hearings already.
is his wife,iris from CUNY, involved in the newly proposed nyc community college to be located across from Bryant Park? is this the 1970's old drug rehab site ?
who owns the property ? and how much is the taxpayer going to be screwed out of again?
another "as of right " "community facility" property grab.will this school fall under the term "phony"?
