Over the past two decades America’s broken immigration system has confounded one Congress after another, because it never seemed possible to create a law that satisfied the right balance of interests. But some Republicans changed their minds after the 2012 presidential election, when Mitt Romney took just 27% of the Latino vote. It did not take a brilliant strategist to understand the threat; Latinos were growing in number, were increasingly likely to vote, and were turning away from Republicans in droves. Last June, 14 Republicans in the Senate joined the majority Democrats to pass a comprehensive immigration-reform bill. The effort stalled when the Republican-led House of Representatives said it would not take up the measure. But last week it roared back to life when John Boehner, the House Speaker, issued a brief memo to his caucus outlining principles for reform.
Although short on specifics, in most respects Mr. Boehner’s note echoes the Senate bill. It calls for a secure border, biometrics to track comers and goers, and a digitized system for employers to check the immigration status of workers. It urges the allocation of visas to suit the demands of American firms. It says that most of the 1.5m "Dreamers" (illegal immigrants brought to America as children) should be allowed to become citizens. How the ground has shifted: only three years ago Senate Republicans put a Dream Act to death.
These provisions are not universally loved—many think America already spends too much money keeping people out—but they can command support from both parties in Congress. That may not apply to the knottiest part of reform: what to do about America’s 11m-12m illegal immigrants, two-thirds of whom have lived in the country for over a decade.
The Senate bill would allow most undocumented immigrants to apply for citizenship after paying back-taxes, displaying English proficiency, passing a background check and so forth. That, though, was too much for House Republicans to stomach, so Mr. Boehner proposes merely to remove the threat of deportation from those who can satisfy a similar laundry list; there will, he says, be "no special path to citizenship".
Boehner’s memo responds to the Senate Bill in all aspects EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、emphasizing security issue
B、meeting the needs of companies
C、putting the Dream Act to death
D、allowing Dreamers to become Americans
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的“Boehner”,“Senate Bill”定位到第三段第一句,其中“memo”=“note”:“responds to”=“echoes”。第二句的“It calls for a secure border”对应选项A,emphasizing Security issue(强调安全问题)。第三句“It urges the allocation of visas to suit the demands of American firms"对应选项B,meeting the need of companies(符合公司要求)。第四句“It says that most of the 1.5m‘Dreamers’should be allowed to become citizens”对应选项D,allowing Dreamers to become Americans(允许梦想家成为美国公民)。而C项对应的是最后一句:only three years ago Senate Republicans put a Dream Act to death.该句所描述的是3年前的事情,并非如今Boehner回应Senate Bill的做法,故该题答案为选项C。
