参考答案【正确答案：C】
C选项是对原文第二段中最后一句“To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.(首先我们要承认这些生活繁衍在灰色地带的短暂移民的存在，然后解决移民的挑战)”的同义复现。故正确答案为C。
A选项“需要新的移民分类”与原文“We don’t need more categories”相悖。B选项“放松对移民的控制”文章“Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants.”我们目前有更加严格的对待移民不符。D选项“被政治方式所修复”。没有提及。
