Mr. President. here is what I understand the law to be and what your amendment says. The law. as I understand it. is if you are in the United States on a student visa from a foreign country. you are required to be a fulltime student and to stay. If you are failing a course. you drop out of the course. you are no longer a fulltime student and. therefore. you are ineligible to stay on a student visa. At that point. you are subject to a final order of removal which means you can be deported from this country. having a presence in this country that is not recognized by your student visa because you dropped the course. Now let me read what your amendment says. It says: An alien is ineligible for conditional nonimmigrant work authorization and status under this section if the alien is subject to a final order of removal.
