想知道试卷中的文章是怎么谈论“移民（immigrants）”的吗

作为移民为主体的美国，“immigrants”这一概念在试卷中出现的频率很高。就这一概念文章分析的角度很多，有合法性角度，有管理的权限角度，有文化融合角度，有重要性或危害性角度等等。

老夏考研“每日一题”选自《华盛顿邮报》，原文文章标题为“The Trump administration is using the economic downturn as another way to punish immigrants”（特朗普政府正在利用经济低迷作为惩罚移民的另一种方式）。

今天给的这种题型，如果能够作对，一定给自己狠狠点赞哟。......

【题目】The author maintains that Trump’s measure as regards immigrants can be described as

[A] a win-win arrangement.

[B]a bottom-up process.

[C] an advocate of short-termism.

[D] a self-centered mechanism .

【试题】

①The United States is so far the only country to “explicitly justify mobility limitations not on grounds of health risk, but to protect the jobs and economic wellbeing of” its citizens, according to the Migration Policy Institute. ②In an April executive order, Trump suspended issuance of green cards for most people applying from abroad. ③Last week’s executive order expanded the ban to large categories of temporary, employment-based visas. ④This included the highly skilled immigrants the administration usually claims it prioritizes, as well as any spouses and minor children who normally accompany these workers. ⑤The U.S. economy is indeed in bad shape. ⑥But it’s hard to fathom* that the estimated 377,000 would-be immigrants now barred from entry present much “risk to the U.S. labor market,” as Trump claims.

 【参考译文】

①The United States is so far the only country to “explicitly justify mobility limitations not on grounds of health risk, but to protect the jobs and economic wellbeing of” its citizens, according to the Migration Policy Institute. 据“移民政策研究所”(Migration Policy Institute)观点，到目前为止，美国是唯一一个“明确证明限制移民的理由不是基于健康风险，而是为了保护其公民的就业和经济福祉”的国家。

②In an April executive order, Trump suspended issuance of green cards for most people applying from abroad. 在四月的一项行政命令中，特朗普暂停向大多数申请绿卡的外国人发放绿卡。

③Last week’s executive order expanded the ban to large categories of temporary, employment-based visas. 上周的行政命令将禁令扩大到大量临时就业签证的种类。

④This included the highly skilled immigrants the administration usually claims it prioritizes, as well as any spouses and minor children who normally accompany these workers. 那包括政府通常声称优先考虑的高技能移民，以及通常陪伴这些工人的配偶和未成年子女。

⑤The U.S. economy is indeed in bad shape. 美国经济的确处于糟糕的状态。⑥But it’s hard to fathom* that the estimated 377,000 would-be immigrants now barred from entry present much “risk to the U.S. labor market,” as Trump claims. 但是，正如特朗普所称的那样，目前被禁止入境的37.7万准移民“给美国劳动力市场带来了很大风险”，这颇令人费解。
