Immigrants and their children can be good citizens.

Limiting immigration is good for the country.

D.
The best immigrants return to their home countries.

Answer 1

Have you read and understood Cleveland's remark? Read it again, and then let us know what YOU think is correct.

Answer 2

@Writeacher well that's what I kinda need help with, I don't really understand what Cleveland is saying and thought you guys might help :P

Answer 3

Then start by eliminating the obvious.

Does he mean D in that statement?

Answer 4

@WriI don't think so, I'm thinking he means C

Answer 5

He starts out sounding like that, but read that last part again: " … immigrants who, with their descendants, are now numbered among our best citizens."

Answer 6

One of the best ways to deal with these multiple-choice questions is to start out by crossing out the obviously wrong ones! Once you have them crossed out, your mind can concentrate on the others, and you'll make better decisions.

Answer 7
