Question

Which will not likely be affected by immigration reform in the U.S.?

A.
status of unlawful immigrants

B.
border security

C.
seasonal work permits

D.
offshore drilling rights

Answer 1

D, offshore drilling rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The immigration reform will affect immigrants already in the USA, immigrants wanting to come to the country to live there permanently, and people applying for seasonal work permits.

The reform may alter the status of many unlawful immigrants, neutralizing some of them ( eg. Dreamers), expulsing others. The border security may be reinforced and strengthened making the entrance to the country even more difficult. People applying for seasonal work permits may face new obstacles and requirements which they have to meet in order to be granted the permit.

Offshore drilling rights have nothing to do with immigration reform but are subject to economic and trade policies.

Answer 2

For the answer to the question above, Immigration reform in the U.S. is likely to affect the border control because they will increase the security for crossing illegal immigrants and the status of unlawful immigrants is also affected. So the answer is d. Offshore drilling rights
