I agree with the point that it might be a little excessive when compared to what's happening in US regarding immigration policies; however it is hard to justify that these people innocent. In some way, it's the school's fault as well. They were suppose to check bank information with history..not just what the account had in last 7 days or so. The system is openly allowing such a misuse of the policy (including refugee cases, forged marriage cases) and they select a handful of small time violators and punish them severely; not fair.
