The most promising effort in years to restore fairness and hope to the immigration system begins Wednesday, when the Obama administration will start accepting applications from young, undocumented immigrants who want to be shielded from deportation(驱逐出境)so they can be free to work and go to school.
The program to halt deportations is limited, hedged by detailed rules and not to be confused with broad immigration reform, which is out of reach at a time when resentment against the undocumented runs high in Washington and in the states.
But any progress away from indiscriminate immigration enforcement, and toward opening pathways to a fuller involvement in society, is worth noting and celebrating.
Under the program, applicants must have been brought to the United States before turning 16, be under 31, have clean records and have lived here for at least the last five years. Those who are accepted will not be legalized, even if they are given permission to work. They will instead be granted two-year deferrals(延期)of deportation, which are renewable.
By one estimate ,1.7 million of the country’s 11 million undocumented immigrants may qualify.
Announced by President Obama in June, the program is not the legalization or path to citizenship that millions are longing for and deserve. It’s simply a decision by the Department of Homeland Security, at President Obama’s instruction, to get its enforcement priorities right—focusing on removing criminals and others who threaten community safety, not the law-abiding, hard-working young people who pose no threat and cannot be blamed for their unauthorized status.
There are two major worries as the program unfolds. One is whether Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that will run the program, can handle the administrative load. Alejandro Mayorkas, the director, says his agency is investing in staffing and training, helped along by the $ 465 fee charged to each applicant. The agency depends entirely on fees.
The other fear is that applicants will fall prey to fraud. Immigration law is extremely complicated, which dishonest consultants, known as "notarios" , take full advantage of. Applicants who are rejected have no right to appeal and will still risk deportation, especially those whose paperwork was falsified(伪造的). The citizenship agency needs to do all it can to educate applicants and prevent frauds.
Then there will be the attacks from those who cannot stomach anything less than the ejection of every last immigrant who lacks legal status. This harshness is exemplified by Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, who denounced the program on Wednesday.
" I cannot overstate the tragedy of this," he said, doing just that. His inability to distinguish " criminal aliens" from the young strivers the United States needs is the reason the country has been forced into administrative half-measures, rather than real legislative reform.
What does the author say about the new immigration program?
选项
A、It opens up a legal path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
B、It grants authorized status to the hard-working young immigrants.
C、It endows President Obama with the enforcement priorities right.
D、It focuses on driving out the immigrants with criminal records.
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。本题考查作者对奥巴马政府移民新计划的看法。定位句提到,这一计划旨在驱逐有犯罪历史或者威胁社会安定的移民,而不是那些年轻、奋进的移民,D)和原文均提到focus on以及criminal,故为答案。A)“为非法移民的合法化开辟路径”和B)“授予年轻、奋进的移民合法身份”均与文章内容不符,故排除;C)“赋予奥巴马总统执法优先权”是对第六段第二句中前半句的误解,to get its enforcementpriorities right的主语是Department of Homeland Security而不是President Obama,故排除。
