The percentage of immigrants(including those unlawfully present)in the United States has been creeping upward for years. At 12. 6 percent, it is now higher than at any point since the mid 1920s.
We are not about to go hack to the days when Congress openly worried about inferior races polluting America’s bloodstream. But once again we are wondering whether we have too many of the wrong sort of newcomers. Their loudest critics argue that the new wave of immigrants cannot, and indeed do not want to, fit in as previous generations did.
We now know that these racist views were wrong. In time, Italians, Romanians and members of other so-called inferior races became exemplary Americans and, contributed greatly, in ways too numerous to detail, to the building of this magnificent nation. There is no reason why these new immigrants should not have the same success.
Although children of Mexican immigrants do better, in terms of educational and professional attainment, than their parents, UCLA sociologist Edward Telles has found that the gains don’t continue. Indeed, the fourth generation is marginally worse off than the third. James Jackson, of the University of Michigan, has found a similar trend among black Caribbean immigrants. Telles fears that Mexican-Americans may be fated to follow in the footsteps of American blacks--that large parts of the community may become mired (陷入) in a, seemingly permanent state of poverty and underachievement. Like African-Americans. Mexican-Americans are increasingly relegated to(降入) segregated, substandard schools, and their dropout rate is the highest for any ethnic group in the country.
We have learned much about the foolish idea of excluding people on the presumption of ethnic/racial inferiority. But what we have not yet learned is how to make the process of Americanization work for all. I am not talking about requiring people to learn English or to adopt American ways; those things happen pretty much on their own. But as arguments about immigration heat up the campaign trail, we also ought to ask some broader questions about assimilation, about bow to ensure that people, once outsiders, don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores.
That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers, or how best to secure the border, and it is one that affects not only newcomers but groups that have been here for generations. It will have more impact on our future than where we decide to set the admissions bar for the latest wave of would be Americans. And it would be nice if we finally got the answer right.
According to the author, the burning issue concerning immigration is ______ .
选项
A、how to deal with people entering the U. S. without documents
B、how to help immigrants to better fit into American society
C、how to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border
D、how to limit the number of immigrants to enter the U. S.
答案
B
解析
本题问“作者认为美国移民问题要解决的燃眉之急是什么”。第五段最后一句以及第六段提到“…also ought to ask some broader questions about assimilation,about how to ensure that people, once outsiders,don’t forever remain marginalized within these shores.That is a much larger question than what should happen with undocumented workers,or how best to secure the border…”(我们还是应该更广泛地问一些关于同化的问题,以及如何保证那些一度是局外人的人群不会永远在境内边缘化。这个问题比怎样处理非法劳工或如何保障边界安全更值得关注),也就是说同化是最迫切要解决的问题。故B“如何帮助移民更好的融入美国社会”正确。A“如何处理在美没有合法身份的人”、C“如何制止非法移民越过边界”、D“如何限制美国移民的数量”都不是急需解决的问题。
