On that point I think the President has to get credit for providing full protection for Chinese students and. indeed. greater protection than provided by the bill. Not only that. but the Executive order is broader than the legislation under discussion in at least two ways. First. it grants all Chinese. some 40.000 of them. not Just the students. authorization for employment while in the United States. Second. the order directs that all aliens seeking asylum from coercive family planning policies be given special consideration. not Just Chinese aliens. by the way. as the legislation provides. The other substantive legal consideration here is whether the Presidents order will withstand legal challenge. Some argue that an Executive order does not have the staying power of legislation.
