COMBINED EFFORT



Friday, February 18, 2000

China and the United States are joining forces in a campaign to discourage migrants and impose harsher penalties on those who attempt to flee the country illegally.

The deaths of three Chinese smuggled aboard the Cape May, a Japanese-owned ship that travelled to Seattle last month, refocused attention on illegal immigration from China.

Jean Christiansen, regional director for the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, travelled to the southern Chinese provinces of Fujian and Guangdong this week in an effort to reinforce Chinese efforts against ships smuggling human cargo.

She showed the state-run news media a video with footage of survivors among the Cape May migrants, who stumbled distraught from the container in which they hid.

"Many people believe that all they have to do is get to the United States and . . . they'll get rich," Ms. Christiansen said yesterday. In reality, many migrants are caught and sent right back to China, she said.

Under a new law, migrants leaving China illegally can be imprisoned for one year. AP
