© APThe Department of Homeland Security has lost track of roughly 58,000 foreigners here on expired student visas. More than 6,000 of them are considered high-risk for terrorism related activities.
The Department of Homeland Security lost contact with the foreigners, who ABC News says are of 'heightened concern,' after they overstayed their visas and has been unable to reestablish contact.
'My greatest concern is that they could be doing anything,' Peter Edge, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, told ABC News. 'Some of them could be here to do us harm.'
While only 6,000 of the expired visa holders are considered subjects of interest, DHS says it has lost track of a total of 58,000 foreigners who entered the U.S. on student visas but appear not to have left.
'They just disappear,' Sen. Tom Coburn, a leading advocate of student visa reform told ABC News. 'They get the visas and they disappear.'
Tracking down foreigners who have overstayed their student visas has become an issue of increased concern after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Virgina.
One of the hijackers of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, Hani Hanjour, entered the U.S. on a student visa.
At a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing in 2011, Sen. Rand Paul re-raised the concern that foreign students could be a threat to the U.S.
'We have 40,000 students coming to this country from all over the world,' he said. 'Are they would-be attackers?'
The Kentucky Senator's concerns were validated after a student from Kazakhstan on an expired visa, Azamat Tazhayakov, was arrested and charged for hiding the backpack of a Boston bombing suspect from police.
Comment: Here we can see the goal behind these false flag terror attacks: to provoke fear and remind everyone how useful the stripping of our rights and treating everyone as a potential terrorist is for "our own safety".

Paul has been a vocal advocate of changes to the student visa system ever since. The Kentucky Senator refused to vote in favor of immigration reform in 2013 because the Obama-backed Gang of Eight legislation did not place new restrictions on the student visa program.
'If we had a more competent visa program, we might have prevented 9/11,' he said in an op-ed for Politico explaining his opposition to the comprehensive immigration reform bill.
'If we had more thorough screening of refugees, we might have prevented the Boston bombing,' he continued.
Comment: No. If we didn't have psychopaths in power, none of those things would have happened.

Tazhayakov was convicted in July of obstructing a terrorism investigation for hiding evidence for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who has been accused on perpetrating the bombing. Tsarnaev will face trial in November.
Sen. Coburn told ABC News that since the September 11 attacks the government had arrested 26 foreigners with student visas for terrorism related activities.
Coburn and Sens. Chuck Grassley and Charles Schumer have tried in the past to change student visa laws with no success.
Thomas Kean, a co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, which first recommended changes to the student visa program, told ABC he was amazed that the government still hadn't adopted the commission's recommended changes to the program.
Comment: But how is the government then supposed to spread fear and lies about another possible 9/11 attack?
'It's been pointed out over and over and over again and the fact that nothing has been done about it yet... it's a very dangerous thing for all of us,' Kean said. 'The fact that there's been no action on this is very bothersome.'
Kean pointed out that the man who attacked the World Trade Center in 1993, years before September 11, was also a student visa holder who skipped out on school.
