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.
According to the passage, the Obama administration will______.
选项
A、protect undocumented immigrants from deportation
B、offer young immigrants free education and job training
C、undergo broad immigration reform across the states
D、make progress toward fair immigration enforcement
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。本题考查奥巴马政府的作为。A)“保护非法移民免于驱逐出境”,首段提到,奥巴马政府只是会接受年轻的非法移民的申请,并没提到一定会保护这些人免于驱逐出境,故排除;B)“给年轻的移民提供免费的教育和就业培训”原文未提及;C)“在各州上下进行广泛的移民改革”,原文只是提到不要将这次的计划同广泛的移民改革相混淆,故排除;D)“朝着公正的移民执法做出努力”,原文第三段提到,这次计划是值得注意和庆祝的,因为它是远离不分青红皂白的移民执法、为更全面的社会参与开辟路径的进步,而且第一段也提到了restore fairness and hope to the immigration system“恢复公平、积极的移民制度”,故答案为D)。
