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".
The thorniest problem of reform is how to______.
选项
A、acquire support from both parties
B、deal with millions of illicit immigrants
C、drive millions of immigrants out of America
D、cut costs on keeping immigrants out of America
答案
B
解析
题干中“the thorniest problem of reform改革最棘手的问题"对应第四段第三行“theknottiest part of reform改革最困难的部分”,故该题答案来自原文the knottiest part of reform之后,即冒号后面的内容。该句的“what to do about America’s 11—12m illegal immigrants”即为该题答案。四个选项中,与之相近的是[B]deal with millions of illicit immigrants。其中,do about对应deal with;11—12m对应millions of;illegal immigrants对应illicit immigrants。
