Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the US filled the streets all over America
in early 2006.Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens一not criminals.Many
of these people supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immi-
grants who were already in the country illegally.Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter
measures一including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home
countries.
Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise.Some want to keep the doors open.
They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005,according to the
Canadian Government statistics.However,all this growth means that cities need to adapt.New-corners don't
always make a smooth transition into jobs at which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring（辅导）
programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.
With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing
no sign of abating（减少）, the Spanish Government has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass
amnesties（特赦）for illegals,and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back,the govern-
ment has announced. About 23 ,000 migrants（移民）landed on the islands in 2006 , and riots have enipted ir
some crowded reception centers.This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.

where France has a talent shortage.Then the government will help these identified employers find immigran
workers with needed skills or qualifications.The selected foreign employees will be granted"skills and talents'
visas,valid for three years.But some people show the concern that. it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

Text 4 When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shove for attention among multibillionpound infrastructure project,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing￡4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing,set to expire in 2015，is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of largescale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.While the government’s commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.
It can be learned that affordable housing has______

A.increased its home supply
B.offered spending opportunities
C.suffered government biases
D.disappointed the government
