From NPR News in Washington. I'm Lakshmi Singh.President Obama is putting his ideas for immigration _1_ before the people of Las Vegas, Nevada this hour.
這里是華盛頓NPR新聞，我是拉克什米·辛格?，F(xiàn)在這個(gè)時(shí)間，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)正在內(nèi)華達(dá)州拉斯維加斯的民眾面前宣布他的移民改革計(jì)劃。
"I'm here today because the time has come for a commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform. The time is now." Obama's visit comes a day after a bipartisan group of senators unveil their own plan for addressing the deeply divisive issue. Jude Joffe-Block, a member of Station KJZZ, reports the bipartisan plan won applause from immigrant advocates.
“我今天來(lái)到這里是因?yàn)楹虾醭＠淼娜嬉泼窀母飼r(shí)機(jī)已經(jīng)到來(lái)?，F(xiàn)在就是那時(shí)機(jī)。”在參議院兩黨公布爭(zhēng)議很大的移民改革提案的第二天，奧巴馬便造訪拉斯維加斯。據(jù)KJZZ電視臺(tái)的記者裘德·約菲·布洛克報(bào)道，兩黨合作推出的計(jì)劃贏得了移民倡導(dǎo)者的贊揚(yáng)。
Advocates have applauded the senators' plan for _2_ a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the country now without papers. At the same time, their voice concerns that such a path would be contingent on additional border security measures. Patrick Coyne with the Grass Root Group promised that originally reform to oppose Arizona's immigration enforcement law.
移民倡導(dǎo)者對(duì)參議院的計(jì)劃表示歡迎，該計(jì)劃包含為美國(guó)境內(nèi)的非法移民者提供獲取公民身份的方法。同時(shí)，移民倡導(dǎo)者也表示，這種方法也要考慮到額外的邊境安全措施。Grass Root Group組織的帕特里克·柯因表示，改革的最初目的是反對(duì)亞利桑那州的移民立法。
"We don't need more money _3_ on border security. We've got enough out there. We don't need all of these technology to hunt down people like animals."Coyne says policies that promote family unity should _4_ a final immigration bill and her group will _5_ to advocate for that. For NPR News, I'm Jude Joffe-Block in Phoenix.But there is still a fair amount of skepticism surrounding the bipartisan proposal. Jessica Zuckerman with the Heritage Foundation says in principle all seems well.
