"The promiscuous immigration programs for studies or work in the United States allow foreign terrorists easy passage into the United States"

This passage refers to the fact that two of the 9/11 hijackers were in America on student visas. American security is guaranteed by the Constitution. Protest is also allowed, making this a legitimate complaint.

There are mechanisms in place to alert school authorities when a student is absent for an extended period.

Under a perfect system, if the author presses the issue, compromises will be made and policy will be the result.

Democracy at work.

Here is the rest of the statement:

Given the tragic events of September 11, 2001, all nonimmigrant visas should be immediately halted in the interest of national security.

This too, is a little extreme imo.
