The couple was caught and jailed. Us wife was released from jail because of her pregnancy and soon after. she gave birth to a baby gild. Unfortunately the babys father is still subject to deportation to China. where he is certain to meet persecution. Now in jail. U seeks asylum and is likely to remain Imprisoned for several months before his case is settled. He says this treatment is not what was depicted on Voice of America. but that jail. even death is better than what the family will face if returned to China. Us family is one of the few known cases of Chinese nationals seeking protection in the United States from Chinas one couple. one child law. President Bush has issued an administrative directive which would seem to protect both Chinese students and couples escaping forced abortion. but to date the Presidents action has been narrowly interpreted. We must make it clear that Chinese nationals like U and his family are protected by our immigration law. A vote today to override the Presidents veto will do just that.
