From personal accounts of past repressions. we know what terrible fates await many of those consigned to prisons and reeducation camps. In addition. the Government has taken brutal action against free thought. closing hunderds of publishing houses. newspapers. and journals. Over 30.000 Chinese students currently in the United States are holders of Jvisas. which require the holder to return to China for 2 years prior to seeking a change in their immigration status. In general. this restriction makes good sense. because we do not want to allow every foreign student who benefits from a U.S. education to qualify immediately for residency. That would frustrate our own immigration policies. and discourage many nations from sending their best students to study here in the United States. But this is not a general situation. By overwhelming. bipartisan votes. the House and Senate agree that many of the Chinese students who hold Jvisas may well face repression. imprisonment. reeducation. and other unwarranted forms of brutal treatment if they are compelled to return to China at this time.
