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".
According to Paragraph 2, which one is NOT true?
选项
A、The immigration reform was postponed for a period.
B、John Boehner has made specific details for the reform.
C、Republicans once rejected reform of immigration policies.
D、Most Democrats have agreed to pass immigration reform bill.
答案
B
解析
选项A对应第二段第一、二句:...immigration-reform bill. The effort stalled... 其中stall一词表示“搁置,暂缓”,由此可见选项A的表述是正确的,其中“stalled”=“postponed”。选项B对应最后一句:John Boehner, the House Speaker, issued a brief memo to his caucus outlining principles for reform. 原文提到的是“outlining principles for reform(概述改革原则)”,而不是该项说的“made specific details(列出具体细节)”,故该项表述错误。选项C对应该段第二句:The effort stalled when the Republican—led House of Representatives said it would not take up the measure. 其中“would not take up the measure(不采取措施)”对应该项的“rejected reform(拒绝改革)”,故该项正确。选项D对应该段首旬的“joined the majority Democrats to pass a comprehensive immigration-reform bill,”可见大多数民主党人赞成通过移民改革法案,故该项表述正确。综上所述,答案为选项B。
