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".
To become an American citizen, undocumented immigrants have to do all EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、having a clean record
B、paying required duties
C、mastering English well
D、owning social background
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的“undocumented immigrants”定位到最后一段第一行。其中“to become an American citizen”对应“apply for citizenship”;“have to do…”对应原文的“after…”这一部分。故答案来自原文的这部分内容:...after paying back-taxes, displaying English proficiency, passing a background check…其中“paying back-taxes”对应选项B,paying required duties:“displaying English proficiency”对应选项C,mastering English well;“passing a background check”对应选项A,having a clean record。其中passing a background check表示“通过背景调查”,而having a clean record表示“无不良记录,历史背景清白”。故原文没提到的是选项D,owning social background(拥有社会背景)。
