It seems like an impossible challenge to pursue a policy of accepting undocumented students while avoiding the deleterious knock-on effects from such a policy.

It seems like you're shoehorning in some unrelated politics.

The problem here is far more fundamental, simply identifying real people from bots and identity-theft impersonators. Federal immigration status hasn't even begun to become a factor.

The article mentions stolen identities, so not accepting undocumented students doesn't seem like a good solution.
