This week, in Washington and cities across the nation, immigrant advocates, clergy members and labor and business leaders have been meeting to press their case for comprehensive immigration reform. Hopes have been raised before and repeatedly dashed. But this year there is a chance—if the White House provides real leadership and Congressional leaders show the courage and sense they have previously lacked.
President Obama has pledged his support for reform that includes a path to citizenship for the undocumented. At the same time, his administration has not done nearly enough to moderate enforcement policies that unfairly target citizens and legal residents—often because they are Hispanic—while feeding the fear and hopelessness of illegal immigrants as they await the opportunity to get right with the law.
The Department of Homeland Security has been pressing ahead with the old Bush administration strategy of tightening the screws on the 12 million undocumented, particularly by lengthening the long arm of local law enforcement. Make no mistake: Stronger and more effective immigration enforcement should be a pillar of any reform plan. But stricter enforcement must be coupled with a path to legalization. And poorly designed enforcement without strict checks on errors and abuse is a remedy worse than the disease.
The homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, is sticking with the 287(g)program, which deputizes local police departments to enforce immigration law, despite all-too-frequent errors and abuses. Despite community outrage over racial profiling and mdiscriminate "crime sweeps" in Maricopa County, Ariz., by the notorious sheriff, Joe Arpaio, he remains a member in good standing of Ms. Napolitano’s enforcement team.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expanding its Secure Communities program, which automatically checks the immigration status of everyone booked in jail. That sounds benign, but advocates have raised legitimate concerns over its lack of oversight and internal controls. Any blanket checks of arrestees, both innocent and guilty, could easily provide cover to police departments that use neighborhood sweeps and mass arrests as a pretext to "clean" communities of unwanted immigrants—not just violent criminals, but harmless housekeepers, day laborers and gardeners.
There could be no quicker way than this to erode the hard-won advances in community policing, through which law enforcement agencies rely on the trust and cooperation of the people they protect. There is a grim contradiction at work here, with the Obama administration simultaneously, and self-de-structively, twisting the dials of hope and fear.
Why do illegal immigrants feel fearful and hopeless?
选项
A、Because they are waiting to become legal residents.
B、Because they find the president is unwilling to support the reform.
C、Because related policies cannot satisfy their demands.
D、Because Hispanics are often discriminated under current laws.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。考查因果细节。根据illegal immigrants定位到第二段。解题关键是对第二段中的第二句这一长句的理解和把握。该句指出正是由于奥巴马政府在调整某些不合理政策方面做得还不够,导致了非法移民感到恐惧和绝望,也就是说,因为相关政策满足不了他们的需要,故选C项。
