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".
We can learn from the first paragraph that ______.
选项
A、Mitt Romney is a presidential candidate
B、America’s law system has been confusing
C、Most Americans turn away from Republicans
D、Mitt Romney can be a perfect president
答案
A
解析
选项A对应第一段第二句:But some Republicans changed their minds after the 2012 presidential election, when Mitt Romney took just 27% of the Latino vote. 由此可以推断Mitt Romney是总统选举的候选人,故选项A表述正确。选项B则原文没有提及,原文只是提到“broken immigration system”,而没有提到“law system”,故该项错误。选项C对应该段最后一句:Latinos were growing in number, were increasingly likely to vote, and were turning away from Republicans in droves. 该句指出拉丁美洲裔厌恶共和党,而C项却说大多数美国人厌恶共和党,显然这是对原文的过度夸大,故错误。选项D,Mitt Romney能成为完美总统,属于对定位句对原文的主观臆断和无中生有。
