ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH EXPIRED VISAS REMEAIN TOUGH TO TRACK
More than 10 years after 9/11, illegal immigrants with long-expired visas remain tough to track. The criminal case against Amine El Khalifi, 29, only highlights how the U.S. government routinely fails to track millions of foreign visitors blatantly ignoring immigration law without consequence. Despite multiple run-ins with police in Northern Virginia where El Khalifi lived, he never came to the attention of federal law enforcement agencies until he became the target of an FBI probe following a landlord’s reporting of suspicious activity.
