    It seems like that's exactly what they did though. Maybe and that's a big maybe, they at the enrolment asked all students that they want a fake school (reports say some people transferred from other unis and actually showed up looking for classes). However even then this is the equivalent of a e.g. opening a pharmacy and advertising legal drugs and the when somebody comes in trying to sell them some heroin with their Tylenol. If these fake schools are such a problem, why are ICE not going after the schools? Obviously because it's much easier to daemonize immigrants than some American "entrepreneurs" who make money of foreign students by creating these fake schools.
