Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the
international students and the U.S. institutions of higher education
they attend. They have been unfairly penalized by the Trump
administration through unconstitutional and illegal immigration
executive orders. I urge my colleagues and the administration to recognize the vital
contribution these international students make to our country. International students who spend time in the United States become
ambassadors when they return home, sharing an appreciation of our
values, counteracting stereotypes about Americans and the United
States, and enhancing respect for cultural differences and democratic
norms. International students contribute to the economic well-being of the
United States.
