What a great thinking. True everything u said is true and I would love to abide by all the laws. But I want to ask you how many hours you work or may be you used to work?? Just to remind you that most of the times people have to struggle and work outside the lines too. I was on F1 and I understand that u have to do whatever it takes just to continue study. So I feel bad when Students are sent back when they are just trying to pay for their college and get a degree. And for other students who get drunk and do stupid things I don't have any thing to say for them.
On the other note, I have heard from three different professor about their struggle when they were on F1. They were also busting their ass in gas stations (working illegally) before they had a degree and all Nepali brothers and sisters who do not have full scholarships are still doing the same thing. I don't see a ethical problem but it is against the law and have to be careful. Even the people who gave student visa to students knew that so no big deal.
PS whatever it takes means working hard and I said all students work coz I ignored very few percentage of students who can afford to study without working
