The way that I have handled the situation in the past was to have the student 
deported.

Actually, I was one of many instructors from various disciplines who had 
similar problems with the student and made repeated attempts to help him 
understand what was acceptable.  When these attempts failed, so did he and he 
lost his student visa.

This story does scare the hell out of students when I give my academic 
dishonesty rant at the beginning of the semester.

I also tend to agree with the hard-line approach that others have advocated.  
On the other hand, I wonder how you would handle the case if the student who 
plagiarized was foreign-born, had received his/her undergraduate education 
outside of the US, had limited English skills, and his/her native language used 
a radically different alphabet system (e.g., Cantonese)?
