Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be
allowed to come work and live here? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions
have never seemed more pressing.
On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and
local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”—raids on airports to arrest
employees with false identification (身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests.
But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from
Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status
made them open to blackmail (讹诈) by terrorists.
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as
if they were being treated like disposable goods.
Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. “We’re saying
we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what
our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in
terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you’re disposable. There are
whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.
If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested
and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a
manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with
the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid.
Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation (驱逐出境). Castro’s
case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has
granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s.
62. According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation ________.
A) composed of people having different values
B) encouraging individual pursuits
C) sharing common interests
D) founded on shared ideals
63. How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?
