留学生在去学校上课与失去签证中做权衡

国际学生担心新移民政策可能会使他们失去签证，他们在会被感染和在美国完成学业之间摇摆不定。来自印度、中国和巴西等不同国家的学生接受了美联社记者的采访，一些人说他们可能会回国，或者搬到附近的加拿大，总之在抓紧制定计划。哈里斯堡科技大学（Harrisburg University of Science and Technology）分析专业的中国研究生彭洁（Jessie Peng）说：“这项政策是非常危险和残酷的，我们无处可去，” 27岁的彭继续说：“我们现在要么得冒着生命危险去上学，要么冒着生命危险飞回中国。”许多美国大学其实早就开始依赖于100多万国际学生的收入，而且这些学生通常要比本国学生支付更高的学费。但美国总统特朗普坚持说，大学要尽快恢复面授课程，并称学校因为疫情关闭后，经济受到了损失，他不想看到这样。美国商会说，这项指令可能对大学、学生、商界和经济都造成“重大伤害”。与其他大学一样，南加州大学表示，他们正在努力的确保学生的学术生涯不会受损害，同时也在探索让学生安全来学校上课的方法。但移民局似乎已经在哈佛大学起诉时就已经在执行这项政策了，因为一名白俄罗斯一年级新生在明斯克机场被拒载，之后哈佛大学的一名律师敦促法官尽快中止这项规定。

International students worried about a new immigration policy that could potentially cost them their visas say they feel stuck between being unnecessarily exposed during the coronavirus pandemic and being able to finish their studies in America. Students from countries as diverse as India, China and Brazil told The Associated Press they are scrambling to devise plans，Some said they may return home, or move to nearby Canada. “This is very dangerous and cruel,” said Jessie Peng, a Chinese graduate student in analytics at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.“We have nowhere to go,” said Peng, 27. "Either risk our lives and go to school or we risk our lives flying back to China.” Many American universities have come to depend on the revenue from more than 1 million international students, who typically pay higher tuition. President Donald Trump has insisted they return to in-person instruction as soon as possible, alleging that schools are being kept closed to harm the economy and make him look bad. Like other universities, USC said it was pushing back and working to ensure students’ academic careers aren’t harmed, while exploring ways for students to safely study in person if they wish. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the directive could inflict “significant harm” on colleges, students, the business community and the economy. A day after Harvard sued, the university notified the court that immigration authorities appear to be already enforcing the policy. A lawyer for Harvard urged the judge to suspend the rule, saying that a first-year student from Belarus was turned away from his flight at a Minsk airport. There is another hearing Friday.  source
