Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
It’s hardly news that the immigration system is a mess. Foreign nationals have long been slipping across the b
order with fake papers, and visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstay their legal welcome without being punished. But since Sept. 11, it’s become clear that terrorists have been shrewdly factoring the weaknesses of our system into their plans. In addition to their mastery of forging passports, at least three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫机者) were here on expired visas. That’s been a safe bet until now.

Before Sept. 11, legislation of this kind had been blocked by two powerful lobbies universities, which rely on tuition from foreign students who could be kept out by the new law, and business, which relies on foreigners for cheap labor.
