I encourage my colleagues to carefully consider the equity of the situation. These Chinese students are in Japan for the purpose of preparing for study in the United States. Current policy has left these bright young students stranded in Japan. unable to safely return home and unable to move forward as they had long planned. If they were to return to China. it would be unlikely that the Chinese Government would grant new exit visas. For the American colleges involved. the policy poses a severe economic loss. I ask my colleagues to support this amendment and correct this unfortunate problem.
