这是来自学校 student union 的邮件:
跟当地议员说什么:
See the script below for an example of what to say. The key points are saying who you are, how you are connected to their office (i.e., I am a student at ___ University), why you are calling, how you feel about the proposed ruling, and what the member can do to help (sign onto Reps Dingell and Pocan’s Dear Colleague letter mentioned above).
详细脚本:
Talking to a member of the House of Representatives’ office:
Hello, my name is (your name). I am a (graduate/prof./Ph.D./etc.) student at ( ___ University). I am calling today to speak to (member of Congress’s name) about the recent DHS proposed rule for international students with regards to duration of status.
(Now the person on the phone will likely say that they can pass on your message. They may ask for your name and zip code)
I am calling to urge [Congressperson’s name] to oppose the DHS proposed ruling that changes student visas from duration of status to fixed end dates. For graduate students, program durations are uncertain with the average time to degree being 6 years. With a visa duration of 4 years under the proposed ruling, many students would be unable to complete their degree with extensions, which DHS sets a very high bar for in this proposed ruling. Worse, students from some countries have this duration even further reduced to 2 years based on where they were born. This proposed rule would unnecessarily place a burden on international students and threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs supported by them. This disruption will threaten university communities and have a chilling effect on international students’ willingness to study in the US moving forward.
As a (graduate/prof./Ph.D./etc.) student and a constituent of your (district/state), I firmly oppose the administration using national security as an excuse to enforce impractical, unjust, punitive and inhumane policies and drive out international students.
[optionally, insert personal story of how you interact with international students (including potentially yourself!) in your daily lives here]
I ask that [Congressperson’s name] sign on to Rep. Debbie Dingell and Mark Pocan’s Dear Colleague Letter which urges DHS to reconsider this proposed ruling.
Thank you for your time today!
