63、 he said. Immigration is a divisive political issue in the United States with some 11 million people in the country illegally.

64、ct (移民法案) would give them a chance to become legal residents if they complete two years of college or join the military.

65、egal immigrants would get a fast track to citizenship, while people who did come here legally wouldn t have those same opportunities, she said.

66、ngton and is concerned about the act s effect on the economy. There s a lot of unemployment in the United States right now.

They are studying at Harvard, they are studying at UCLA, the top universities , and they all have bright fut
69、ures and because of the system they are going to be told to go home, go back to a country they dont even know, he said.

However, it can be done if both roommates are willing
75、to cooperate. Step 1 Tie a scarf to the outside doorknob as a symbol of Do Not Disturb, but be careful not to do this too consistently.

76、of it being a surprise, especially if you plan to have an overnight guest. Be considerate if your roommate needs to get into the room regardless of the scarf on the door to get something out of the dorm because it is his dorm room too. Step 2 If one roommate is a light sleeper and the other is a hea
77、vy sleeper, the heavy sleeper could consider an alternate way to wake himself up besides an alarm.

78、cell phone. Step 3 Take cell phone calls outside of the room.

The roommate who is not on the phone has no way of knowing how often you will
79、have phone calls and should not be put out because you do. Step 4 Ask if it s okay to have a guest in the room. Although your roommate is not your parent, and you may feel like this is your room too, remember that _. He may not want company when you do. If one roommate is more sociable than the othe
