Executive Order 12711

Executive Order 12711

The Executive Order 12711 was issued by American president George H. W. Bush on 11 April, 1990. It deferred deportation of Chinese nationals and their direct dependents who were in the US between 5 June 1989 and 11 April 1990, waived the 2-year home country residency requirement, and gave them employment authorization through 1 January 1994.

It was issued as part of the international backlash against the People's Republic of China (PRC) in response for its brutal suppression of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 that occurred 4 June of that year.
