If such fake universities exist, why aren't these resources being spent to identity and shutter them instead? If they don't, why manufacture this elaborate heist instead of deporting the students in the first place when their visa ran out? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just pore through immigration records and do some on-site checks to find a "real fake university" than to create one?
