I reclaim my time and say that I would agree with the gentleman it affects specifically the Chinese students. it was needed so they could have employment opportunities and it was needed in order to make sure they did not have to return to their country of origin. However. after that legislation is passed with respect to all the Chinese. the Attorney General has the discretion. either on a casebycase basis through the asylum laws or the Refugee Act of 1980 or simply through what he is doing now by simply withholding any deportation proceedings. to allow those Chinese to stay here. from all walks of life. That is what is happening here. We are taking away his discretion by this legislation. I am opposed to doing that because I think it is a very bad precedent and I think it is going to cause us problems down the road when we start eroding that Refugee Act we passed in 1980. I think it is wrong to do that. I think it presents a magnet for others to come here.
