Already we have heard from other countries who want the same special treatment provided by H.R. We know from the experience of South Texas that even a rumor of leniency on asylumseekers will act as a magnet for the future migration of massive numbers of people. If we allow H.R. 3506 to pass. we are sending a message to others that we do not take our immigration laws seriously and that we will make exceptions for many others to come. As generous as the United States is. we cannot possibly accept all who wish to better their economic situation. All Americans are sympathetic to the plight of the Chinese students.
