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 is one major concern with the launch of the new immigration program?
选项
A、Citizenship and Immigration Services has no enough funds to run the program.
B、Citizenship and Immigration Services will charge the applicants arbitrarily.
C、Immigration law can be too complicated to be explained to the applicants.
D、The applicants can easily fall into the trap of dishonest consultants.
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题考查计划实施过程中可能遇到的主要问题。由定位句可知,移民法的复杂性会被奸猾的移民顾问利用,从而导致申请人受欺诈之苦。D)中的fall into the trap of与定位句中的fall prey to同义,原文中也提到了dishonest consultants,故答案为D)。A)“移民局没有足够资金去实施该计‘划”,倒数第四段提到的担忧之一是,移民局是否能处理好这一行政负担,而不是资金问题,故排除;B)“移民局会向申请人任意索价”与原文中提到的每位申请人465美元的费用不符,故排除;C)“移民法太复杂而无法向申请人解释清楚”原文未提及,故排除。
