问题     For centuries, immigrants have come to America seeking the
promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Some came
fleeting religious persecution. Others came for the possibility of a【M1】______
better life. But all were inspired by the freedoms that exist in the
United States because of the rule of law.
    Throughout our history, immigrants have contributed to
American society and help build the American dream. But today【M2】______
we face with an immigration crisis. Lax enforcement of our【M3】______
immigration laws threatens the promise of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness that has made America that it is today. In【M4】______
order to protect the American dream, we must enforce our
immigration laws.
    According to a report by the Government Accountability
Office, only 44 percent of the U.S.-Mexico border is under the
"operational control" of the U.S. Border Patrol. Forty-four percent
is a failure grade. Holes in the security of our borders threaten【M5】______
American lives. The first promise of the American dream is "life."
In order to protect that promise, we must secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
    We must also do more to prohibit Americans from criminal【M6】______
illegal immigrants. Despite the Obama administration has【M7】______
increased the deportation of criminal immigrants, two Supreme
Court rulings created a safe haven for dangerous criminal
immigrants who can be removed. Because these rulings prohibit【M8】______
criminal immigrants from detained longer than six months【M9】______
when they cannot be deported, federal officials have been forced to【M10】______
release thousands of criminal immigrants into our communities.
Tragically, many have gone on to commit more crimes, including
murder.
【M7】
选项
答案Despite一Although／Though
解析 语篇错误。由上下文语义判断，句间的逻辑关系应该是让步关系，despite是介词，表示“尽管”，但后面不能接句子，故应改为连词Although或Though。
